Who is training the trainers?

Now the pool halls are closed which was our favorite place to go after this..

 

Shame on you for making a trainer think about his truck. You may have caused him more confusion than any other day in his entire 8 week trucking career.

 

Does anyone know what is becoming of the FMCSA ELDT program? It's supposed to go into effect in 2022 that all Entry Level Driver Trainees have to go through a certified driving school. Frankly that is going to hose me as my state doesn't really recognize driving schools on a company level. We've trained every single driver for my company in the last 20 years. All passed their CDL A driver tests the first time around, but it looks like getting a CDL at your local DMV is going to dry up soon.

Looks like it's going to line the pockets of formal driving schools pretty well, maybe I should just go into that business as well.

We are going to jam through three more drivers in 2021 just so I have backup drivers from inhouse.

 

Those that can, do.

Those that can't, teach.

edit: words are hard

 

I thought I asked you to keep that between us?

 

I know when I took my road test to actually get my CDL, it was through the state ( Indiana ) with an official state tester.

Now, do to more emphasis on safety, the mega's have their own testers.

JBHunt was my second job. I'll never forget the backing test. Pretty standard " Put it in the hole." There was a girl that hit the one trailer 3 times. 4th time was a charm. Approved!

 

I was parked next to a CRST Expedited rig in central Cali a while back, air drier was popping every 12 to 15 seconds, and I am not kidding, I counted it. The person in the passenger seat, who I assumed was the spouse of the driver, was throwing her trash out the window, while ignoring the trash can about 100 feet away. Of course, she was tossing her trash, corn dog leftovers, all sorts of trash, right below my driver side steps.

So, hey, CRST, guess why we call you Crusty?
