NEW DRIVERs: we want you!

You are new to driving. You are eager to start your career. You hold a Class 1 MELT (or equivalent license).

But, where do you learn how to be a professional driver? If you are asking these questions, now is the right time to join our Driving Mentorship Program.

PHASE 1

Start your training journey by entering and completing Phase 1. This includes both classroom education and On-the-Road (OTR) training.

Phase 1 involves a total of 40-hours, over a 2-week period.

The first 20-hrs are dedicated to In-Class training. Additional hours are added as needed to ensure that all our employees are confident and comfortable before graduating.

The second 20-hrs are dedicated to On-The-Road (OTR) training, including both In-Cab (in the truck) and In-Yard (yard activities). The mix of classroom and OTR is designed so that students do not experience boredom, but rather experience a variety of learning, engagement and satisfaction.

2-Week Schedule

One-half of each day is dedicated to In-Class workshops and learning. The second/remaining half of each day is dedicated to OTR training.

Completion & Victory Lap

The Driving School takes 2-weeks to complete, with additional days added if the new driver needs more time for OTR Training.

PHASE 2

This part of the Driver Mentorship Program includes 6-12 months of training, delivering real freight for real clients.

Phase 2 excellent training through a dedicated and specialized strategy, where an experienced driver (mentor) is paired with a less experienced or new driver (mentee), in order to guide the mentee in developing the skills that the mentee requires to perform his/her job adequately. The mentor shares his/her skills, knowledge, best practices and experience with the mentee.
