As I've said... I've had trainees WITH THEIR CDL's that could not evenfind reverse on the shifter, much less back into a dock. Do you wantthem on the hiways without any additional training?
Not only no but HELL NO!!! I think you missed my point: When is enough training enough and would not the next logical step up for the trainee to still have the trainer on the truck in a "team" operation???

The entire purpose of "Training" was to reduce losses due to accidents,injury, and theft. It's entire purpose was to save money and mitigatelawsuits.
At some point Federal and State regulations started coming onboard with training as a requirement.
While it is in the company's best interest to have properly trained drivers I know of no state or Federal regulations that require additional training after someone gets their CDL. If there are regulations what are the requirements?
I agree 100% with you on the fact that training should be done from the right seat. I have to ask the question again: Should the company say OK training is over give him a truck or let the trainer stay on the truck as a team operation to see how the trainee does without the trainer in the right seat???
