Question About PSD
Topic 28453 | Page 1
Trainer sleeps when you do. In a stopped truck at a truck stoo.
Trainer is on duty when you drive. So if you drive a full shift trainer has very little, if any of her 14 hour clock left to drive.
In addition to what Rob said above, you may sometimes run a "Super Solo" schedule where your trainer will start driving the first few or several hours of the shift, leaving you in the sleeper. Once you start driving, he/she will then still be able to remain on-duty for the duration of your drive hours.
This method, while taxing on the trainer, increases the miles a PSD truck can run.

Prime Inc has a CDL training program and the first phase is referred to as PSD. You'll get your permit and then 10,000 miles of on the road instruction.
The following is from Prime's website:
Prime’s PSD begins with you obtaining your CDL permit. Then you’ll go on the road with a certified CDL instructor for no less than 75 hours of one-on-one behind the wheel training. After training, you’ll return to Prime’s corporate headquarters in Springfield, Missouri, for final CDL state testing and your CDL license.

I was wondering when you stop driving when your being trained for PSD , does the truck stop? Or does the trainer keep driving? I was just wondering because from what I understand the trainer HAS to be in the passenger seat the whole time that you are behind the wheel. So that leaves me wondering when does the trainer sleep? I would assume that the trainee would switch back and fourth between day and night driving and that when they ran their clock out the truck would stop for the night until the clock was refreshed but if that was the case, than i'd be worrying about making the load drops on time. That's why I was just wondering when the trainer sleeps during PSD.
