    I was in a dock in Massachusetts many years ago. There was a CR England truck next to me. The driver said he was dissatisfied. He was a trainer at England and had a student with him . The student had been with a few different trainers and couldn't pass. This trainer told me the trainee stopped on an interstate traffic lane to look at the road atlas.
    Anyway, I was with Crete and was happy with them and they had a much better pay scale, so I suggested the guy come to Crete.
    He says, " well they want a few years experience don't they"?
    I said " yeah they want two years. But you're a trainer.
    Me assuming he would have experience.
    He says, well I don't have that much.
    How much experience do you have?
    4 months.

    To each his own. Look at company scores etc and this answers itself. Also just watch on the road. Who would team with a new driver here and sleep while they are driving.

    I'm stuck on the 5- 6,000 miles a week training. Wow.
    You are braver than I, wait, I may be sharing the road with ya at some time.
    Not saying you are a bad driver or trainer, but I have been out here 20 years now and still learn something everday.
    I guess it is the e-logs that make you safer than I am because I still run loose leaf.

    Kills me when these guys say they are training when the ONLY thing it truly is team driving.

    That post meant while you were sleeping your trainee was driving or reversed.

    I get students fresh outta school they have to do 275 hours before they get their own truck.. We spend 60-70 hours to observe them if we feel comfortable enough to where we can slp while they drive then yes we basically become a team but if not we have to observe them until we feel comfortable.. Outta 7-8 students I trained only one I really couldn't get any slp one because he couldn't follow directions on the gps & two he didn't know how to back for **** when he takes his 30 mins or shut down for the night..

    Gotta give up some respect to you. I couldn't be a trainer, for one I will not trust my life too anyone. Secondly I really don't like most sheeple, and I have a tendency for becoming a drill instructor if you don't get it the first time.
