An awful lot of companies these days have a VERY high driver turnover. There are very few that don't. Therefore, yes, that's what's happening - trainers don't have a lot of experience.
If you do your research and ask lots of questions, you can still find good companies out there but it takes more effort, that's for sure.
tell the truth!!!

kinda sounds like these companies that let you become a trainer after only a year need their own slot on this board,,but i can't figure out what to call it..
-
or.. better yet:
"Instant Trainers"
just my 4 cents -
Personally, I'd go with "Potty Trainers"... -

How long before his lease is up? Tell to apply with Crete, Boyd Brothers , Quality Carriers, and Southeastern Freight. I have done the research the myself and know a lot of companies that hire regional, and locally. If I can be any help in searching, let me know.

2 for the price of one special, like you see at all the fireworks stands.
New (and old) drivers get sucked into the lease program with ideas of being "free" and making tons of money. Then, after they realize they got screwed. The company offers them a tube of KY, commonly refered to as "training" to make the bent over part of this job, a bit less painful.
Same result, it just looks less painful.
When you sign a lease the truck OWNS you. Not the other way around. And you will run when it tells you too. Not when you want to.
A special comment for all our lease operators on the forum. You ARE NOT an owner op, many of you will never be an owner op. Get over yourself TODAY. And you'll lead a less stressful life.
While hope is a wonderful thing, It neither feeds the children, nor does it pay the bills.
Here is the pecking order for truck drivers:
#1 Owner Ops
#2 Union Drivers
#3 Company teams, non-union
#4 Students (gone solo) minimum experience
#5 Non-union experienced company drivers
#6 Lease Operators
Depending on the company, Owner ops could be #4 in the pecking order. But NEVER mistake yourself as a lease op, with being an owner/op. You own NOTHING, therefore you are BOUND to that company. Where as a O/O can tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine. -
Given that the best paying jobs out there, (tankers, car haulers, for example) require a majority of the time, 2 - 3 years verifiable OTR experience, why should being a trainer require anything less? Many people on this board have stated that the CDL schools only get you to the point of passing the DMV CDL test... your real learning of this profession is with your trainer.
