Program Details

Alexis received work experience in the logistics industry along with Employability Training. Alexis expressed interest in becoming a Class A CDL Driver during the hiring process. The training covered multiple aspects of the package delivery industry, including on-road safety with a focus on defensive driving and distracted driving avoidance, proper loading and unloading techniques, behind-the-wheel training on public roads, package delivery procedures, vehicle pre-trip and post-trip inspections, customer service skills, time management and route optimization, and the use of technology such as GPS, handheld devices, and in-cab cameras.

Alexis went above and beyond by asking questions, shadowing delivery drivers, and staying late to better understand logistics challenges. At the end of the training program, full-time employment as a Delivery Driver was awarded, with a salary of $23 per hour and a benefits package that includes retirement savings, performance bonuses, health insurance, and tuition reimbursement.
