Message:: [QUOTE="thirdreef, post: 3533397, member: 119533"]So from what I've been reading here... They are taking people with no experience and putting them in tankers? That's like handing a 10 year old a bottle of nitro and telling them  that it is safe. One needs to start their career in trucking in a more manageable situation like van freight. Think of this surge... Ice.. Now what? It's alot easier to learn how to drive a truck with a non live load. And one won't end up in the ditch so easily, and it's a lot easier to pick up boxes or watermelons over hazardous when it's spilled. It is a proven fact that somebody with over 5 years will not have the accident rate of somebody with less experience.. And there is a very good chance that somebody that is new will have some kind of an accident within their first year. It might just be a incident of tapping a fence backing in.. To a roll over or worse. And they want to put new people in tankers? But, but ill have a trainer. And just how much driving time does that trainer have? Some companies it's a hand full of months since they got their license.[/QUOTE]
