how does training work?

when you go out with a trainer is it a set amount of hours or days that you have to train or can you be assigned a truck if the trainer feels you are ready earlier? if so does this happen often?

reason I ask is because the main reason I got into the whole driving career is because I like being alone. My last job delivering beer I didn't mind so much when I was out driving (90% of the time) but when they told me I was a helper and I had to work with someone I hated it even though it was easier. I wouldn't want to be with my best friend out on the road for 6-8 weeks nevermind with some random stranger. I am a loner I guess you can say. I don't want to be with someone for 6-8 weeks if I don't have to be.

I'm just wondering for training how long did you personally go out for until you were assigned your own truck?

 

that's cool. If you don't mind me asking where did you get local work? I am looking for something local if I can find anything. It's just very hard. I'm guessing beverage/food delivery (anything with a hand truck)

 

hey that's really cool. I just applied to a dump trailer position. I guess your best shot at local stuff is dump trailer and not freight because you won't be driving in the city as much? Just my guess. Maybe their insurance company allows no experience for this type of job. Please don't take me wrong I am NOT saying that your job is easy.
