Tell trainer you would need to do everything from scanning documents, fueling, arrival/departure procedures, actually backing into docks and parking at truckstops. My trainer either slept or drove 90%, while I did all fueling, paperwork,,, everything, Just what I needed.
Assuming will be a team truck: Expectations of miles per shift 1st week and forward. Most can't safely do 600 miles per shift starting out.
SLEEP! Very important you get enough sleep. Establish SHARED rules for talking on phone, in-cab music/podcasts etc while the other is in sleeper.
Food and snacking, can you use trainer's fridge, microwave.
You'll get through it, then look back as the hardest thing you've ever endured.
