Errol “gets it”...
Team while training. Here's a big picture of it:
A trucking company is going to trust you with their $200,000 machine, and loads maybe worth another $200k. And you'll be pulling that small fortune through traffic, on roads from high-speed interstate to two-lane winding country roads.
What better way to see if they can trust you than to have you do all that, using one of their trucks assigned to a driver. Said driver is also responsible for his/ her truck and loads. Your trainer has a vested interest in making sure you do all the right things. Hence you will be learning the finer points of the truck driving career.
Additionally, after the first week or two, your trainer should trust you enough to handle the regular (and more boring) part of daily driving on your own for 4-600 miles on roads.
Totally 110% agree with the above.
For anyone unfamiliar with Errol, he is a Swift Academy driving instructor. When he replies to anything having to-do with training; his advice, wisdom and perspective is usually in the “priceless” category.
G-Turn,I guess I owe you lunch, or something.
