It all depends on two things, 1. The company you chose to work for, 2. The trainer that you get assigned to.
If you work for Stevens, Prime, USA Truck, Werner, CR England, PAM, etc, you better expect to run hard during training. Spend 3 hours at a shipper and only log 30 minutes will probally be a common practice. They will talk about safety during orientation, but once you hit the road, it's a different game. Your trainer gets paid for all the miles that you and he drive. So, if the wheels aren?t turning, he isn?t earning :roll: Some trainers really do care about you learning and will slow the pace down so that you can practice backing, etc. Others are only doing it for the extra $$$. It's the luck of the draw as to which one you'll get.
Look into Roehl, Schneider, CFI and US Express if you want to learn while training, instead of being an extra log book in the truck.
