I had completed a Tractor Trailer driving course and later went with a major carrier. I was on the road for 5 1/2 weeks with a trainer and then we went into one of our terminals and took all the tests,including mapping and trip planning skills, road test and 3 different backing skills tests and was upgraded to solo driver. For reasons of space and time I had decided not to continue with this company. I have been away from driving for about 3 months. My question is...Will I have to go out with a trainer all over again if I go back to drving a truck?

Thanks

Probably. If you check around you may be able to find someone who won't. But the fact you never did any solo driving will most likely mean another trainer.

For all practical purposes you have no experience at all and more than likely any company you go with is going to want you to go out with a trainer for at least a few weeks.

Take thraining with a trainer as a refresher course. You will be glad you did. The real "training" begins when you go solo and your first 6 months by yourself out here.
