New Driver Orientation

We host weekly orientation sessions at our corporate offices in Boonville, NC, and offer an additional session as needed to accommodate all new hires. Our orientation program is designed to be comprehensive and engaging, covering a range of essential topics and activities. Participants will undergo a pre-trip inspection, complete a road test, and undergo a urinalysis screening, ensuring that everyone meets our safety and operational standards. Additionally, we provide in-depth training on the technologies we utilize, helping you become familiar with the tools and systems that will support your work.
