The low retention rate at training company schools

RickG · Jan 16, 2012

Our industry, considered in total, has a weak training and mentoring system now! The so-called CDL-mill companies that generate more actual dollars from the company truck driver training schools than they do from freight in some cases have a 15 percent success rate putting those drivers in their trucks. At the same time, theres in the neighborhood of a 4 percent retention rate for those same drivers that survive or stay with the carriers past the 274-day average retention period. This means they are collecting unpaid educational fees from more than 81 percent of the trainees that dont make it.

Does anyone else remember when Northamerican Van Lines was investigated for making too much money fleecing lease operators ? The megacarriers are fr more guilty but they must be better at buying politicians .

Amazing statistics. A 4% retention rate? You could do almost as good with the margin of error!
