just phoned a friend about this and he says it sounds like you are being classed as an entry level training driver ie .a rookie straight out of driving school with no experience at all with perhaps being locked into a 2yr contract. iirc you are an experienced class 1 driver and no kin way let them railroad you into this …training to get through your test …yes well we all needed that…Bison is all makro messages so a day to learn them another for paperwork so after passing your test a max of 1 week to learn the paperwork side/border crossing procedures. The driving is easy part and is the same all round the world so 13weeks at min wage HELL NO> and another question my mate asked are you going TEAM or has this not been mentioned yet.that takes a special type of trust with someone you don’t know to put your life in his hands when you are sleeping in the bunk going over a mountain pass!
sorry to sound negative but Bison did not get the size it is for nothing! remember all OTR companies over here will do anything/say anything to get meat on the seats for as little money as possible
