I made a post about this the other day. 25 years old and headed to prison because no one bothered to teach him how to drive in mountains. His training supervisor should be in the cell with him.

I am not sure how you can teach calmness and thinking capability under stress. Even with the best training I think many would panic and lock up. Though I don't have any idea of how to fix the issue I do believe that some type of vetting needs to be done before truckers are turned loose in the mountains, city streets, or any other high stress situations.

With the looming shortage of drivers it will get worse.

Too many steering wheel holders. With the shortage, they will take the unskilled/ non- proficient newbie drivers as the skilled vet drivers want a earned wage for their skills/proficiency which is earned and properly valued.

You think no one told him not to go 40mph over the posted speed limit?

How much training did you have Danny before your started driving alone. You can't teach common sense or how to keep a cool head in an emergency situation. Some got it some don't.

How many months or years do you train them?
