What training do your
drivers receive?
The most thorough training in the business! In October of every year, each new recruit is trained on the navigation of his route, familiarized with the technical aspects of his equipment, provided with hours of practical driving exercises, and thoroughly briefed on safety issues surrounding both the public and himself. He is provided with both literature and hands-on training, so don’t be surprised if you see a couple of J.R tractors out on the road before the snow begins to fall! We believe that preparedness reduces stress, the opportunity for damage, and the loss of time, which ultimately translates into the delivery of better service to our customers.
