Some trucking companies really want to take time to train new truck drivers and ensure that they know what they are doing and some throw 2 students together like the company today. I am talking about Covenant Transport although they are not the only company doing this. After new driver complete training with a trainer, they then are required to team for 3.5 months. This time can be with another student who also only has a few weeks of driving. Would you allow a student doctor to perform an operation on you? I doubt it. Driving is life and death decisions all the time. New drivers need to be trained by an experienced driver. I think a trainer should have 5 years of all season driving and no ticket or accidents. I rarely see that kind of requirement in the industry. Check out today's video. Let me know what you think about students training each other.
