Cypress Orientation: What They See and What It Takes

from The Cypress Truck Lines Podcast · host The Cypress Truck Lines

Every driver who comes through Cypress orientation has one job: prove they are ready. Randy Wells and Blaine Carver have seen hundreds of drivers walk through that door, and they can tell almost immediately who will succeed and who will not. In Episode 18 of the Cypress Truck Lines Podcast, Marcus sits down with the two men who built Cypress's orientation program into one of the most respected driver development processes. Randy and Blaine are no-nonsense. They do not sugarcoat, and they do not hold back. You will learn what new CDL holders get wrong before they ever climb into a truck, what the orientation team at Cypress wishes every driver knew walking in, and what the drivers who go on to build long, successful careers at Cypress have in common from day one. This episode is for drivers in CTC right now, drivers heading into Cypress orientation, and anyone who wants to understand what separates the drivers who thrive from those who do not make it. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Subscribe now and come prepared.

About to start orientation? The team running it just told us everything. What they wish new CDL holders knew walking in, how they spot success from day one, and what it really takes to come out the other side ready to work.
