I get only 5 days.
four to teach everything,the last day to sit,and observe what they've learned,without teaching anything else.
Then I have to submit a report to my TM with a copy going to the UPS Feight safety department,and one for their personal file.
When it was just the Smith System it wasn't hard to put that into four days.
But now its the Diad,as well as all our paper work,cube sheets,tallys,DR's.
Its a tall order to cram into four days.
The last day I make sure we stop some place for a good lunch,and I buy for a reward for them learning what they can.
When I went to school for the safety trainer certification training,I'm sure they taught us that we had the new hire to drive our route while I taught them everything.
On an accident follow up they drove their route,and I rode along helping them with everying,as well as evaluating their driving skills,than hand in a report on how they did,with any recommendation for improvements,or weak areas they needed practise in.
Maybe your right about us doing things different in the east?
