Message:: [QUOTE="roundhouse, post: 12175706, member: 220225"]LolWhen I was in elementary school we had tires on the playground , and a hill, We’d cram a kid in and roll em down When My nephew was 20 he took the CDL class  atThe local community college, and got hired by a small regional heavy haul company , that trains new drivers .The newbies ride along with an experienced driver for 9 months at half pay , then get assigned  a truck .   They had him doing in state loads before he turned 21 . two years later they had him regularly doing a 16 wide load that gets moved 1100 miles, but he’s an exceptional learner and driver . They’ve washed out a few drivers that just didn’t have the situational awareness required for oversize & overweight loads , or just couldn’t get proficient using an 18 speed or that just couldn’t follow the permitted route and plan their trip and stops etc .     But the company will take on newbies  who have a squeaky clean criminal , credit and driving record . owner of the company jokes that they used to find drivers who wanted to learn heavy haul and have them pass the background check, and now they have to find people who can pass the background check and teach them how to drive a oversize truck .[/QUOTE]
