Training the Right Way

 

At Groendyke Transport, we believe in nurturing and encouraging the success and development of our people. Groendyke Transport doesn’t just offer jobs, we offer fulfilling careers filled with rewarding opportunities and the tools to take advantage of them. That’s why we invest heavily in our training department. 

Orientation

Each new driver, and most other employees, spend at least one week in orientation at one of our Regional Training Hubs. Training includes in-depth virtual and video-based training. Our drivers also go through comprehensive hands-on training and benefit from hands-on simulations of real-world scenarios, including emergency scenarios, using actual equipment.

Driver Training

After completing orientation, all new drivers get the advantage of on-the-job training with one of our certified driving instructors. These professionals represent our most elite drivers. They work with new drivers on Groendyke’s processes and procedures to ensure consistency throughout our fleet.

Ongoing Training 

Groendyke's training department has an extensive catalog of trainings, including refresher curriculum, to make sure all our drivers and people in general stay current on all our procedures, processes, driving and operation techniques and equipment.

Training Structure

Groendyke has a team of safety training professionals at our corporate office in Enid, Okla., and in the field. We have Regional Training Hubs staffed by safety training professionals and a team of Certified Driving Instructors companywide to ensure each new driver gets the attention they deserve. Terminal staff assists in ensuring refresher and other trainings are completed as needed.
