    Yes it is, how much hand holding do you want? If they are dangerous then the trainer should spot that right off the bat. I never get you guys that think this job is so hard. If you can't figure it out in 2 weeks you aren't going to get it, eventually you will screw something up, I promise.

    You could look at Melton. It's flatbed but not to bad. Starting pay for a new driver is 33 a mile. Plus tarp pay. New driver orientation is 8 days and then 3 weeks with a trainer. We do not run trainer trucks a as team trucks. The trainer is always either in the passenger seat or driver seat while the truck is in motion.

    6 weeks at prime will feel like 6 months with those 58 mph trucks. Must be all the added weight from those push guards and flashy decals.
