Freightliner heavy haul training

[Bindy2014]

Hi guys. I recently found out that I have been successful in my application for a trainee driver with Freightliner and start in January. I'm just wondering if anyone has any information on the training timeline regarding classroom training and how long on average it takes to pass out. I also noted that you get a pay enhancement during training and was interested to know how far along in training this occurs. Generally any info on training would be brilliant , as I will be relocating, so the more info I can get, the better prepared I'll be. Thanks in advance.

You 'should' be out qualified around 10 months to a year after starting. The pay increase is once the rules and traction phase is over.

Oh, and welcome aboard fellow heavy hauler!
