Striving to be Value-Added
8 个月This is a good thing. However, the trucking companies need to step up their driver orientation training programs. I was a good driver with some experience when I joined my first company and still spent 4-weeks with two different driver-trainers before they turned me loose with my own truck. I managed to haul 500K miles in 48 states and Canada with only one "accident" (a car drove under/into the front corner of my truck at a stop light). OTR drivers need to regain their professionalism. ??
