    Please remember this no matter what anyone else says....
    If you are driving and the trainer is NOT in the passenger seat he is doing it wrong. If he is sleeping he is not a trainer, he is a co-driver. Do not let this happen. It is the company's responsibility to make sure the new hire is properly trained. You cannot be properly trained if you are driving as a team with a trainer.
    When you are interviewing for a job ask them if they allowed their trainers to sleep or be in the bunk when the trainee is in the truck.
    If they say no ask him for that in writing therefore when you are in the truck give it to the trainer to make sure he's on the same page.

    I don't disagree, but good luck with finding a training company where once you have your license isn't just teaming with you. The reality is most of the training companies will have the trainer sit shotgun for maybe a week after you test and get your license, and that is if you are lucky.

    Anything over a week is too much. "Go to bed; if I have any questions, I'll let you know."
