After completing our onboarding process, new drivers will be scheduled for orientation. Orientation takes place over 3 days where our Safety department will teach our new drivers what they need to know to be successful in their positions with H.R. Ewell.
Road training will take anywhere from 1 or 2 weeks or longer if needed. During training, our trainee is placed with a driver trainer and will become familiar with the handling characteristics of our various tanks-loaded and empty, load/unload procedures and use of our pumps, along with our routes and customers.
After the training period has been completed successfully, we follow up with our driver's performance on an on-going basis.
