    There's one week of orientation for experienced drivers, 3 days experienced with flatbed... The length with a trainer depends on your experience, 5 weeks fresh out of school.... 2 weeks with no flatbed experience, but have some driving experience.... I believe if you have flatbed, only 3 days of orientation..

    As long as you show you can drive the truck...... They understand you may take time to adjust for the spread axle 48 foot trailer and shifting the touchy 9 speed or 13 speed Petes......
