Along with the issue of a driver shortage in the US comes driving schools which are simply box ticking businesses putting truck drivers out on the highway with no experience and no idea how to handle a truck.

The rookie driver interviewed is TruckerDesiree who can be followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/TruckerDesiree who was unleashed on the open road after taking a truck around the block a couple of times and passed her test in an auto.

There is also a very worrying story about a driver trainer accompanying a young driver being dead and several other horror stories. The whole industry should be extremely worried about what’s going on and can we be sure our new trainees are much better?
