TRAINING

Oakley Transport Training Programs: ​The Foundation for Future Success

We strive to provide the advanced training for our drivers to provide the safest, most effective service to our customers. We are stewards of our industry and take responsibility to help improve the transportation industry's image with safe and legal operation of our commercial vehicles. The advanced training courses offered by Oakley Transport are afforded to our drivers to assure that they are safe in their operation and assure the safety of the motoring public. At Oakley Transport, the training never ends.

TRAINING
​PROGRAMS

red divider
Oakley Transport offers several advanced training programs for drivers looking to learn food-grade tanker service.

Our training program places the best-qualified candidates with the nation's best liquid bulk, food-grade trainers. The training is driver-focused in a peer-to-peer setting that is designed to garner the best results in the shortest time. Regarding the experience that our students have coming into our training programs, Oakley trainers treat drivers being trained as drivers, not students or "rookies."

​Our programs are built on respect and provide the most comprehensive training possible in the shortest time frame. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best liquid bulk, food-grade drivers in the industry. We do that by ensuring every driver leaving our programs is capable and completely confident to do the job.

OPERATIONAL
​TRAINING

red divider
Our training program aligns well with drivers familiar with pneumatic dry bulk tankers, hauled gasoline or chemicals, or transported milk.

These experiences translate well into liquid bulk, food-grade service. The OTP is designed to build on existing knowledge to reach the level required to provide the exceptional service our clients count on.

The OTP is tailored to the driver's experience level and background and is designed to concentrate on the areas that the drivers have little or no experience with prior to entering training such as pump operation.

We ensure our drivers get what they need in the OTP to be the safest and most proficient drivers possible when they have completed the program. This program is intensely focused on the training required to get drivers to the high standard of Oakley Transport, Inc.

HAZMAT (HME)
TRAINING

red divider
As one of the largest distilled spirits transporter in North America, it becomes vital to obtain HME certification. Obtaining Hazmat certification increases your load variety and allows more flexibility to ensure better home time and maximize your earning potential. We provide world-class training and guidance in a one-on-one setting that ensures your success.

HME Class is our driver training program that allows us to advance qualified drivers who have not had exposure to tanker operations and hazardous material loads. 
​
​We take the time to address what the driver already knows from basic commercial vehicle operation and hone that knowledge to develop safe driver habits in liquid bulk tanker operations. According to HACCP and JPA guidelines, we teach the skills needed to handle food-grade materials. The HME Class offers drivers a complete training program to teach them all the required components to become safe and effective liquid bulk, food-grade tanker drivers.​
