Your Opinion on a Company That Hires Newbies with No Schooling

Brave people.... not real bright but brave.

No reflection on the driver since I don't know him/her but this would look to me to be a disaster waiting to happen. I wish him well.

 

i cant put on here what i really think cause its a family board...but i will say this... CHECK PLEASE!!!!!!

 

Some are "naturals". I've seen some with no real-world experience but had lots of "talent" that would be far safer and able than many of the "fresh out of mentoring phase" that are hitting the streets every day. I would like to think, though, that the driver exhibited some very quality driving during the "test run" .... which would possibly bring into question, maybe he wasn't a "newbie", maybe he had experience with a small, now bankrupt business, and maybe he had some sort of major incident/accident he would like to keep his little secret.

 

NYC, no, probably not. I can't say too much because I never had a trainer so he's actually a little ahead of when I started out. But I didn't go straight to NYC either.

 

I hope for their sake they're paid up on their insurance premium....no wait, check that. I hope they aren't paid up so they get sued and are forced out of the transportation industry for making such stupid decisions.

 

Years ago that was the only way a guy became a trucker. Today, you need your hand help...
