Welcome to Expedite Solutions
Drivers About Us Service Network Carriers Equipment Training
 

I want to thank you for taking time to learn more about Expedite Solutions.  I am Charles Williams, Training Coordinator for Expedite Solutions. I have spent over 2 decades instructing students to learn safety skills, professionalism and skills needed to be successful at their new career.

It is normal to have anxiety about learning something new.  Some graduates worried about the written exams, others worried about controlling such a large truck, and some have never shifted a manual transmission in their life.  These people all had some things in common, they were nervous at first and they were graduates in the end.  I know you can learn to drive one of our trucks and I know I can help you.

Don’t let fear of the unknown stop you from taking the first step toward an exciting new career.  The Expedite Solutions training team has a proven track record of successful graduates that started as new students just like you.  

Come see me in Indy.  Bring with you an open mind, willingness to learn, a work ethic that drives you to be your best and we will help you do the rest!

Sincerely,
Charles Williams
Training Coordinator

Phase 1Phase 1 “Start Your Engines”
Expedite Solutions has the only national training facility that specializes in getting people started in the growing segment of transportation called expedited freight.  To help new students understand the curriculum and their progress through the material, we have broken the training into 3 phases.  Phase I begins after you apply online and receive our detailed materials. 

Once you arrive in Indy, Phase I will have many classes supporting 5 key modules.  These modules are Log Books, Safety/Mechanical, Map and Trip Planning, Lifestyle and Operations/Finance (which includes running your small business).  The curriculum does more than just prepare you to pass the CDL exam.  Expedite Solutions Phase I training is designed to introduce you to all the key components to being a successful driver and small business owner.  Things like relationship development, business decision making, proper maintenance and filing tax returns are all areas that are not required to possess a CDL but are crucial to being successful with your CDL. 

Phase II

By limiting the number of teams that are allowed to start in a given week to 2 teams, Expedite Solutions can personalize the presentation of material to your learning style.  During most of the training, you and your partner have the undivided attention of one instructor.  This one on one training time enables he/she to understand what materials you might be struggling to learn and attempt to spend more time on these areas.  This not only ensures a higher graduation rate but a healthier learning environment. 

You will not be an expert when you graduate from Phase I of our training but you will be legal, know how to stay legal and have been introduced to all of the major concepts to successfully operating a straight truck in the expedite business.  These concepts will be reinforced in Phase II and III of your training.  

Phase IIPhase II  “Through the Gears”
Phase II begins immediately after graduation from Phase I Indianapolis, IN.  Your first step is to attend orientation at the new motor carrier you will be delivering for.  This orientation is usually 3 days and conducted at the motor carriers’ corporate headquarters.  During this orientation drivers are getting used to their recently assigned truck, getting things organized and prepared for their first run.  Drivers will take another drug screen as well as learn about the carriers company policies.  Phase II generally last about 90 days and is a time to put into practice what was introduced in Phase I.  Expedite Solutions will closely monitor your performance and provide additional training over the phone and internet.  Completion of Phase II varies by team but is usually noted by an increased confidence in the basics of operating the truck, getting used to “life on the road” and a basic understanding of the financial side of the business. 

Phase IIIPhase III  “Cruisin’ Speed” (drivers at fuel stop, clip art of the USA)
Phase III begins as your abilities in the basic skills (safety, running on time etc) become second nature.  Phase III focuses on improving your productivity and profitability by finely tuning key business variables.  Fuel economy, personal budgeting, truck repositioning are just a few examples of the areas for improvement in Phase III.  This final phase usually takes the balance of the year to accomplish fully.  Expedite Solutions works closely with you to provide key data for analysis.  All key data is monitored closely to help drivers know how they are progressing compared to historical averages. At the completion of Phase III successful teams may decide to pursue Lease Purchase, Direct Buy, Fleet Owner or they may elect to stay on as Certified Mentor Drivers.  Whatever your career goals are, Expedite Solutions has a program to help you accomplish them.
