[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1217778, member: 12570"] I was sent to driving school after having worked for about 10 years. When I went the school was two weeks long which, in my opinion, was one week too long. We had 4 days of classroom work and spent the day on Thursday on road shadowing a driver. My class was a mixture of seasoned and new drivers along with new supervisors. Much of the first few days was spent covering material that should have been covered prior to going to school. Those of us with a few years under our belts had a definite advantage over the newbies and we spent much of our time bringing them up to speed, especially on the DIAD. The emphasis was more on developing the skills needed to do the job rather than on uniforms, appearance and DOK. I agree with the member who suggested that Integrad be eliminated and the task of training new drivers be returned to the center level, which is where it should be. Two days of classroom work and three days with a veteran driver should be more than sufficient to bring a new driver up to speed. The road test should be conducted by a supervisor not assigned to that center to ensure the candidate is given a fair shake. [/QUOTE]
