Can Owner/Operators Train?
Seriously - How much would an Owner/Operator WITH EXPERIENCE charge a Rookie driver for a month on-the-road, to learn the right way from a pro? Purely hypothetical, as I guess no one with their own beautiful truck would take a chance using it to teach anybody, right?

Is 2 years exp. enough to be a trainer for that company?
Thanks all If training a newbie, you'll have him for 5-6 weeks with only the LAST week run as a team. You'll make your regular "trucker's pay" plus $75.00 extra per week. You will get an additional $750.00 if your trainee stays with us for 6 months. If you are training an experienced driver, he will be with you for just 2-4 weeks depending on how good he is. PM or call me if you have any further questions.

I do appreciate the reply though, it is hard to get answers here, out of 22 replies, only 2 actually answered my question :lol: I guess hijacking threads is ok on CAD...

Because experienced drivers may not know a thing about: Flatbedding and securement the RIGHT way even if they already are flatbed drivers TMC's paperwork procedures and requirements TMC's Trucks/Trailers with split axles and dump valves, transmissions, and Vorad systems. Our customer Base How our dispatch, delivery and reload procedures work and more.

I think the driving force behind being a trainer for most people is they want extra money for someone else doing the work. I think trainers should want to help drivers learn the correct way and not how much extra money they can make. In my opinion, a trainer should be an older and more seasoned driver that wants to slow down a little and can take the time to teach correctly!!
