Driver Trainer at Cypress: Is It the Right Move for You?

Becoming a driver trainer is one of the most meaningful career moves an experienced flatbed driver can make at Cypress Truck Lines. But it is also one of the least understood. What does it actually take to qualify? What responsibilities come with the role? What does your day-to-day look like with a new CDL holder in the seat next to you? And what do you personally get out of it beyond the extra pay? In Episode 31 of the Cypress Truck Lines Podcast, Marcus sits down with two Cypress driver trainers who have been in the seat, Joey Intorcia and Rufus Freeman, to answer every question a driver might have before making the transition. They walk through how the opportunity came about for each of them, why they said yes, what the training process actually demands, how it has shaped them as drivers, and what any experienced Cypress driver thinking about this move needs to hear before they raise their hand. This episode is a practical and honest look at one of the most important roles in the entire Cypress fleet. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
