That level/type driver will cost you money in many other ways. All the built in safety warnings and the autos will not take the place of a well trained/experienced employee who is there to do the job, not "drive big trucks for big bucks".
There is a phrase "Christmas help..." They don't know anything, are not interested in learning anything, will not be there long enough to be taught anything,
and if kept on after the caused rush is over, will occupy slots and cost you money till terminated..Gearjammin' Penguin, gentleroger and Old_n_gray Thank this. -

The wides have their advantages of not picking up rocks between the duals.
They suck if you get a flat though. Have to call road service.
