ABOUT US
Professional Driver Services was created when a need for flexible options for employers was seen by its founders. With so many companies looking for different training options, we understood the value of a company's time. Together, the members built a training program from the ground up that would suit the needs of employers and companies while satisfying the FMCSA rules and regulations that came out in 2022. Our goal was to create a training program with a flexible training schedule that meant companies could provide training to their own employees, on-site, with fewer schedule interruptions or sacrificing man power for extended periods of time. Employers are able to train new employees during the training, which allows them to begin working much quicker. We made sure that our training was flexible and was able to work around scheduling needs.
Not only were training options necessary, we wanted to make services easier to access on nights and weekends. We offered specialized training for companies to utilize as a way of protecting their CSA scores through continuing education and refresher training for their drivers. We can even help train employees that will be working with new employees with different training skills and techniques with our "train-the-trainer" course.
We are professional drivers. We are husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and parents. We know the trucking industry. We have many years of combined experience that we will use to help you and your company. Our goal is to ensure that the next generation of drivers are trained properly and are fully prepared to be on the road and not just able to pass a test. We want to promote safe, proficient drivers and we have the same goals in mind as you.

She also ensures that the training program is compliant with all FMCSA rules and regulations as well as maintaining State compliance.
