[QUOTE="ups1990, post: 1327517, member: 20195"] Why not contractually mandate a specific time period and method for new full time drivers school? Regions run their own driver schools, some are a week long other just a few days time. These new guys and gals are totally lost out there. Here's a start. A two week class with strong emphasis on DIAD training with the ability to take them home for additional familiarity in case a student needed the extra practice. On road, hands on driving with both standard and automatic trucks. Not just one afternoon but a full two days. On the last day of school students would ride all day with a senior driver to observe and help. They could see first hand what they are getting into. Once drivers are assigned a center, the center can before hand show the driver on paper the route they will be trained on for 30 days. For those coming into this class with air driving and combo skills, they'll see this as a two week vacation. [/QUOTE]
