As a CDL instructor or trainer, you help trainees learn to drive safely and gain real-world experience. Throughout our CDL training program, you’ll show apprentices how to operate equipment, plan routes, manage e-logs, scale loads, and perform inspections.
Trainee onboarding is one week. CDL permit training lasts three weeks, and CDL team driving takes about three months.
You will support another driver during permit or team training. While you teach them fundamentals, you will also help them adjust to this lifestyle.
When you run team with a recent CDL holder, you share your truck with someone else. It’s important to discuss expectations before heading out.
Trainers at Wilson Logistics must be open to teaching and team driving with both men and women. Everyone has equal opportunity here.
Working closely with inexperienced drivers isn’t for everyone. CDL trainers set expectations for apprentices that influence their careers. You must be able to provide constructive criticism and accept it from others. If you love teaching and desire safer roads, becoming a driver trainer is for you!
• You put safety first at all times.
• You are patient and open.
• You can adapt to different learning styles.
• You get along with most personalities.
