I left them as a trainer April 2008. They had just changed it to 5 weeks for no experience. They will team you after 2 weeks. The time that the experienced guys take is really up to the trainer; at least 2 weeks. Pretty much the same I believe.Originally Posted by steelhauler
In a nutshell, with no experience behind the wheel, you will be out for 6 weeks. The first four weeks you will share driving duties, but you will be the one driving the most. Unless its changed, the last 2 weeks you can team if your trainer feels comfortable. My cousin went to TMC with a few years otr, but no general flatbed(pulled flatbed, but with same freight all time). He went out for two weeks, did all driving, and just basically gained the securement experience.This may have all changed by now, its been about 2.5 years since he went out.
