@Turtlelegs -- if you somehow missed this info earlier, and would like exposure to info on companies that actually PAY YOU WHILE YOU GET YOUR CDL--be sure to check out the following Forum thread (I would suggest you pay special attention to posts #4 & #5 in it--yeah, it's tanker, but that's the good part! ): OHiO Good PAID classes/training.

It's possible, but would be better if they both went out with different trainers. More seat time and more importantly a second perspective.
You're not wrong, but from what I've seen over the last decade, more time with a trainer doesn't create a better 'end product '. If they show up with a cdl, then 2vweeks at the yard and one on the road should be plenty - if they have the ability to get their brain out of low gear.
Way back in the day when I first drove commercially, I spent two weeks in a truck with a trainer, in part driving team, then was turned loose and did fine. If you have a head on your shoulders and an ounce of common sense, two weeks is enough. Some may need more, everyone learns at their own pace.
