Selection
ALL of our drivers are at least 25 years old and have a minimum of three years
driving experience. Each must have a clear MVR for the last two years and pass
a comprehensive physical exam, including a lower back examination. All must
pass a drug-screen test, a road test under "real-driving" conditions and submit
references of past employment. Finally, all must submit to a comprehensive
background check.
Training
All of our drivers are first and foremost safe drivers. We don't employ unsafe
drivers. We discuss safety, we promote safety, we demand and reward safety.
Our drivers are also trained in..."The Customer is Always Right" Program which includes the following:
- Proper conduct when interfacing with Shipper's employees and customers.
- Proper handling of Shipper's merchandise.
- Proper preparation of Shipper's documents.
- Completion of daily "Activity Reports".
- Strict compliance with all Safety and Soundness Rules and Regulations.
Compensation
Black Horse Carriers drivers are highly compensated and receive valuable
benefits. This approach produces almost no driver turnover, which in turn,
produces lower overhead costs, reduced insurance expenses, fewer accidents,
faster and more effective startups, high-quality substitute and extra drivers,
and drivers who always display a more pleasant and positive attitude about
themselves and their jobs…our approach yields a superior service by every
measure.
