Altom Transport, Inc
Alsip, IL, United States
Full-time

Description : This position is responsible for delivering a combination of classroom and on-the-job "field" training. The training will focus on driver education, including left seat right seat driving sessions, road testing, follow-ups, and ensuring compliance.

Key areas of training include, but are not limited to, the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles, the use of forward-facing camera systems, hazardous materials (bulk liquid) transport, and spill-free delivery.
