Agree with your post about not enough training prior to being let loose (hours regs etc,not practical driving side same in a car).
BUT just how much training is expected to be given? If you expected enough training to be able to so the job it would take at least 6 months the reason I say that is as long as the newbie has a grasp of hours WTD etc forgive me for being an old bugger who like most of the old hands on here got their training out on the road.
Years ago it was called experience only earned through actually (don’t be shocked snowflakes) DOING the job not expecting people to hold your hand every day.
You only learn by making mistakes (me included you have to ■■■■ it up to learn) I’m not the best driver there are better on here but I’m not the worst,drove class 1&2 for 17 years prior to jacking it to drive a sprinter for virtually the same money.
I might get grief for the post but there you go
