I think you’ll find that the training period all depends on how you progress. If you can drive a truck and learn procedure in a few weeks, then you will be out trucking soon after. They do send you out with mentor drivers to show you how it all works in the real world too and that is classed as training, from what I know, Bison do not use this as a cheap team operation, the mentor logs on with you and vice versa, so it’s a lot better than some of the horror stories out there.I don’t think you could go wrong with Bison, as long as you can cope with working at a big company. Like any Canadian company, trying to get them to change or telling them that they’re doing something wrong will make life miserable for you, it’s best to keep your head down and your mouth shut.

Yeah, I work for a big company in the UK, working for a big customer… Pointless to say anything 
Learnt a lot about it during the 4 years I work for them. But thank you for this advice, as “every little helps”… To be honest, watched what I found on Youtube about them and it seems, they really put an effort on the new driver’s training. In one of those videos the candidate drives a bull nose Volvo, if I’m not wrong, it has the same I-shift gearbox like the FH I drive in the UK every night…
