I was speaking with a Swift trainer at a delivery,He told me when he get’s a student they have an average of around 2 and a half hours of driving by the time they get their test passed at the school.
His student just then had been through the school in Salt Lake,He took the student’s out for a month to teach them the job.
He also told me the learning truck had 6 seat’s in it,1 seat for the instructor and 5 for the student’s,1 of the 5 seat’s was the driver’s seat.
I remember when i learnt to drive it took 2 week’s and cost me 108 quid,When i eventually got a job as i was only 22 years old,I was driving a Mickey Mouse Foden with a 180 Gardner in it,They said can you rope and sheet i said just about i can do the dolly knot’s,Go and load that 40ft flat and hurry up back,That was my training done,40 years later and still learning.
