Video: What’s it Really Like to Drive for PAM Transport?
You might remember Chad from one of our Roadside Chats. He's a PAM Transport driver who came through the Driver Solutions CDL training program in early 2016. Beginning even before truck driving school, Chad made up his mind he was going to get the most out of his new career.
He has already taken advantage of opportunities to make more money such as adding his HazMat endorsement to his CDL, driving as a team, and most recently, becoming a Driver Mentor at PAM Transport. Watch the video below, as Chad talks to you about his experience so far...

Instead, he has pushed himself to become a better driver. As a result, he's making more money and having more opportunities. Here are just 4 of the different career paths available in the 1st year...

Not only does it help drivers do their job better, but makes them feel appreciated.
