Sure, but isn't the responsibility for training on the company and not the driver? I'm not super familiar with the industry, sorry.

Average amount of on the job training a driver gets when hired is probably half a shift. You're expected to know and be able to do it without any additional training.

I think that's totally wrong and bullshit but that's what's going on out there. Where I work it's 4-6 weeks full time for a driver with experience, 6 weeks to 10 weeks or so usually for a new driver, we've had at least one do 6 months+. We're a definite outlier tho and probably do the most on the job training out of any trucking company in BC.
