If the driver paid less than $10,000 pursuing their CDL the payout will stop at the amount they paid.

Customized On The Job Training Program

Most entry level drivers will be a part of our 14 day on the job training program where we will cover our culture, safety standards, load securement, and tarping best practices.

Quality training doesn’t end after on the job training. The trucking industry is constantly changing, so we focus on communicating important information in a timely manner by print, email, online training, and social media to help make our drivers the best on the road. We are also available day and night to support and assist drivers in any situation.
