    .......yea, the (3) people in a truck concept. Two students and a Trainer in one truck for road training.

    Personally for me, that is an absolute deal breaker.

    What companies do this practice ?

    Someone mentioned Covenant...... ?

    Frankly I find that practice abhorrent. When I have myself and wife in a big rig it's a real task maintaining a level of disinfecting and cleaning chores inside that cab believe it or not otherwise you introduce illness and other common maladies and find that you cannot make miles with boo hoos etc.

    If I applied to a company and learned they run two trainees with a trainer, I would walk. Instantly. The job itself is no value when a company chooses to engage in that practice.

    I'd be more concerned about Head Lice, Bedbugs and who-knows-what from another nasty person !

    Covenant used to do it. Not sure if they still do. Saw a husband and wife preparing to embark on that little adventure one time at headquarters - :eek:

    Went out with trainer, what an experience

    Flashback time. I think this was a one off for Schneider because they had a large orientation and a shortage of trainers at the time but god was this a nightmare lol
