Ep. 24 // RED-efining Driver Development

Have you heard of Nussbaum’s Certified RED program? It’s full of rewards: a pay increase, specialized hats and rings, and a custom decal for your truck. What CertRED is vs. What it is Not Certified RED is a stand-alone program apart from your scorecard. In other words, you do not have to be a Platinum driver to become Certified RED. There are no qualifications to get into Certified RED! “We’ve had drivers enter this program that have a Silver scorecard… that are now in the high 600’s, almost 700. That alone is a pay increase too.” Listen to Rick Schmidt and Scott Herrmann, Certified RED administrators, break down the program in this episode of Terminal Exchange. What’s the ultimate goal of Certified RED? To develop well-rounded, top-tier professional drivers. Your Hesitations: Quenched! You are good enough, and there’s no telling how much you can grow until you enroll in Certified RED. Give it a shot! Rick and Scott delve into the many reservations they’ve heard from drivers and blow away all reasons for hesitancy. “Even if you join Certified RED and are already the best professional driver that there is, you can still learn about Nussbaum in the process of Certified RED.” RED1, RED2, and Beyond Drivers are rolling through this attainable program, boosting their CPM, and throttling down to achieve their next achievements every 100,000 miles up to 1 million miles! Are you ready to become Certified RED? Quotes “There are no qualifications to get into Certified RED.” “If you want to go 65 out on the road, go 65. But, are we being smooth, light on the throttle, and keeping our following distance? This is what Certified RED allows drivers to do and still reward them.” “The learning never stops.” “And if you hit that point, you’re getting $0.07 added to each mile – just for being part of Certified RED. That’s ridiculous!” – Scott “We’ve had drivers enter this program that have a Silver scorecard… that are now in the high 600’s, almost 700. That alone is a pay increase too.” “Even if you join Certified RED and are already the best professional driver that there is, you can still learn about Nussbaum in the process of Certified RED.” – Scott “If you’re driving at Nussbaum, there’s a pretty darn good reason why… you’ve been doing something right.” “It’s a way for Nussbaum to help drivers.” “Have fun learning and earning money.” – Scott Pictures Links CCJ Innovator of the Month – Nussbaum’s Certified RED Program
