How Does Your Onboarding Specialist Help You?
Once you and your recruiter have chosen the best truck driving job for you, you'll work with your onboarding specialist. Consider them your personal guide through the entire process. They’ll help you navigate paperwork, set up your innovative Direct to Work online orientation, arrange necessary drug testing and finalize your start date. Meanwhile, our background verification specialists work quickly to clear your documents, ensuring a seamless flow as you complete your online training.
We know your schedule is constantly moving, so we’ve made communication straightforward. You’ll have a direct line to your onboarding specialist, guaranteeing you hear a familiar voice ready to assist.
“Drivers are treated with a personalized experience from the beginning. They will work with a core group of people, usually no more than three, to complete the application and hiring process,” said Bobbie, senior manager of driver personnel. “Drivers get to speak with actual people and not prerecorded messages or automated calls. If they have a question, they always have someone to turn to.”
