Applied Today!

Can anyone tell me if we run like a team during training? Or, does the trainer ride shotgun when trainee drives?

Not a crazy question. During my training at USA 4 years ago, we ran teams and the truck never stopped. Hated that. You wonder how much value there is driving with your trainer sleepin in the bunk.

 

You operate as a solo truck until you are licensed and then may switch to team once your trainer is comfortable with it. Just started with Millis in OH Monday, and that was how it was explained to us today.

 

yeah when you have a permit the trainer has to be in the passenger seat. once you get your cdl he can go back in the bunk. mine stays in the seat mostly unless he knows that i know where i am going then he goes in the sleeper and its lights out for him.

reguarding you driving it really all depends on the trip. my trainer would have me drive first to get my 4 hours out of the way and then he would take over most of the time. sometimes he would hold my hours back so we could get somewhere at a good time. but he tried his best to get me credit for every day

 

So I guess there will be times when the trainer drives while the student sleeps.

 

yes lots of times really. while he drives you can do whatever you want. if its daytime i like to watch the scenery but at night i jus sleep. and sonetimes in the day i skeep

 

Checking your infomation means you are probably in. As long as you were honest.

 

They are looking for a stable work history and a clean backround and MVR. Sounds like you should be good.
