    Actually most Pilots do have dry cleaning. You have to go past the Von Maur section, turn left at the French Poodle grooming stations and go through the wine tasting gallery.

    keep asking. Maybe your question will get answered between the jokes and storytelling. Hopefully some of the more helpful members will catch sight of this question.

    I went to a school that was very thorough in their training as well, & had plenty of knowledge when I got my 1st truck ....but it amazes me that these companies don't go through this stuff again to avoid the hassles of overweight fines that could be easily avoided.

    Most BFI companies want to spend as little as possible in the way of training. That is why most will put students with lease ops. Less expense on the companies part. And don't count on anything changing until some dies. And I'm not even sure it will change then.

    But in the long run it would seem cheaper to train & have less fines and accidents. Go figure.....

    Some companies won't train you on brakes. At the time I worked at TMC they said if a driver touched the brakes they were fired. The most important thing and companies ignore it.
