Kassim did a great job while training with us. He started in late November which means he faced the challenges of a Minnesota winter throwing cold temperatures and heavy snows at him.
Kassim overcame those obstacles and passed his first attempt at the CDL Road Test. He is to be Congratulated for his focus and dedication to getting the job done.

I ran into Chicago-based owner-operator Carlos Alizondo last spring at the Mid America Trucking Show. Alizondo’s trucked for more than 30 years, and in that span, he's just about done it all. He's hauled in Iraq, providing logistical support to Uncle Sam during the second Iraq War, and he's pulled flatbeds and reefers throughout the lower 48.
We will be hosting Performance Food Group recruiting event at our West St. Paul Campus.

The latest data from the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse reveals that drug use among commercial drivers may be at its highest level since the FMCSA Clearinghouse was implemented in January of 2000. Not surprising, Marijuana was the number one substance found in driver's systems.
The significant number of drivers testing positive for controlled substances is fueling the driver shortage with no relief in sight. The problem is further exasperated by the additional states legalizing Marijuana for recreational use.
