    That's training, not trucking. Backing will improve with practice and experience, all that other stuff won't apply when you get your own truck..unless you choose to keep eating garbage and sleeping on the top bunk.

    I have to say though, I can't fathom how someone can be stressed *and* bored.

    Stressed out envisioning myself obese & bored with the 60 mph governor & not being able to see the sights.
    I'm also stressed to imagine,this might not be for me ,after investing hope,time,money.
    Cheers!

    Swift allows drivers to cover the driver facing cameras now. That's good on their part.

    My company has them. They don't pay any attention to them though. If there's a crash they pull the footage, otherwise they don't bother. They go off all day long and 99.9% of the time it's for nothing.
