Halvor Lines Recruiter Visit

A recruiter from Halvor Lines out of Superior, WI will be presenting at our St Paul ocation. Halvor Lines has hired quite a few of Interstate’s graduates and all of them that come back all have nothing put positive things to say about their experience.

Founded in 1968, Halvor Lines, Inc. found its niche by going above and beyond to help our customers meet their hauling needs, and has built on that legacy every day since. Our 900 trailers and over 360 power units have continually moved goods--and people--across the 49 states and Canada safely and on time.

More medical conditions mean more crashes: Driver study

Here is an article by Larry Kahaner from Fleet Owner Magazine published on February 3rd:

Drivers with several health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, are more likely to be involved in a crash than truckers with only one condition.

While this conclusion may seem obvious, the numbers are striking. Of about 38,000 drivers whose medical and crash records were studied, those with three or more ailments had a crash frequency of 93 incidents per million miles compared to 29 per million miles for all drivers.

Essofa Moumouni

Essofa M completed his 160 Hour Professional Tractor Trailer Training program and is headed off to Swift. Essofa passed his pre trip inspection test on the first try but did not make it past the first road test. With our support, he stayed focused and had no trouble with his second attempt and passed with no problem.  He then did a really good job on the finishing phase of his training with the Big Rigs.  He will have no trouble becoming successful as a professional driver.

Tyler Mulholland

Tyler is going to be very successful at McLane.  He paid attention 100 percent of the time and did a great job getting ready for his CDL road test.  His efforts paid off when he passed his first road test!

Tom Twining

Tom is a no nonsense guy that likes to get things done.  He pays attention to details so he will no doubt be very successful in the trucking industry.Tom is joining Knight Transportation partly because he wants the experience with manual non-synchronized transmissions.  He did a great job during his training sessions so he is well prepared.
