What Previous Attendees Think:

“I really appreciated the variety of people we got to meet, from mechanics in the shop to Executive VPs and HR personnel.”
Stephanie D.

“The trainers were amazing. I thought that they were very personable and down to earth. They had a great sense of humor, which I felt took the pressure away from preparing to do a job that is very physically and mentally demanding. I appreciate that.”
Y'hoshua M.

“Get through the grind and stay positive. Give yourself time to transition to a new company. Think about a career, not just another driving job.”
