I can promise you I'm not making a direct comparison for vehicle size, but I grew up only driving compact cars, and for a brief time on and off, a friends' F150 (so, not a big deal). Then I got a job in 2012 that would have me driving a 2013 F350 long box with a big topper on the back (about 9,000lbs total). This meant I had no use of the rear-view mirror and no backup camera (just proximity sensors). Company policy was to have every new employee do the Smith System Driving course (I believe police here take it as well, among other fleet companies). I always thought I was a pretty good driver, but I was much better after doing that course. But when I did my road test, the funny part was that when I parked the truck, I came into the parking area WAY far away from where I'd be backing in, and my instructor jokingly said that I'll get mocked if I do this all the time up north. I think it was just over a year later when I got to take a different driving course (we all got to take it). This one was different. It had some of the same basics as the first one, but this one talked more about patience on the road (when not to overtake another vehicle), as well as how to handle real world situations like skidding in an understeer or oversteer, driving through a course where there are two options and the instructor tells you which way to go at the last minute (you have to maintain a certain speed too), parallel parking between two cones (and it was tight), backing into a tight spot (using cones), and the most interesting one, backing up through a slalom course of cones. You REALLY get to know your vehicle in those situations. But by then I was pretty damn good at backing into parking spaces, given that was mandatory at all drilling rigs. BTW, I drive an Acura ILX and I still back into or pull through parking spots so that when I leave, I pull out instead of backing out. It's safer. Driver competence has got to be HUGE when driving a waste removal truck.
I trained trash men for over 10 years. 1 we only interviewed drivers hat had the CDL already. 2. Pretrip and drive test. Show me that you can inspect a truck and that you an drive it. 3. 2 weeks in class and hands on in the yard. 4. 4 weeks training on a truck with a Driving Trainer 5. Sign off on the equipment. Show me that you can work the truck on the route with all landfill procedures. 6. Six weeks in you should de doing routs on your own. If not you get some retraining. 7. You still need to pass a 6 momth provation. No accident and or injuryies. 8. Keep at it retirement is only 25 to 33 years away. 9. Find out how to spenk 7k a mont from your pension. At this point your house should be payed for. So spending 7 k a month can be the hardest part off the long list.

I worked for a company that showed me my routes once and expected me to have it memorized.
