In the afternoon, you might conduct over‑the‑road training, working one‑on‑one with associates to develop their driving skills. During peak periods, you’ll flex between training delivery and supporting critical yard operations. Throughout the day, you’ll document training completion, provide coaching, and ensure all activities comply with DOT regulations.
