Truck Driver Training Scam Alert! |
|
Indianapolis, IN - Con artists have now set their sights on the trucking
industry. Recently, several independent truck driving schools have been
targeted by con artists representing themselves as recruiting personnel from
several well-known trucking companies. Authorities across the country are
investigating reports of several truck driving school graduates victimized out
of hundreds of dollars for “advanced placement fees and expenses”. The scam
works like this: the con artist contacts truck driving schools posing as a
driver recruiting representative for a major U.S. trucking company. The con
artist suggests to school personnel that the trucking company wants to form a
partnership with the school and requests a list of recent school graduates. The
graduates are then contacted by the con artist, who promises false job
opportunities and perks for a fee. To date, several truck driving schools
throughout the country have been targeted. One trucking company executive
commented that his recruiting staff was being bombarded with calls from scammed
truck school graduates and truck driving schools.
However, there are reputable
recruiting companies which do things the right way. One of the largest of these
is Driver Solutions, who specializes in recruiting and training entry-level
truck drivers. Driver Solutions manages a driver recruiting and CDL training
network of several well-known trucking companies and credible truck driving
schools. Driver Solutions offers a company-sponsored training program with no
up-front tuition costs or placement fees. Through the company-sponsored
training program, the trucking company agrees to pay for the student’s upfront
tuition costs and the student agrees to become a company truck driver once he
graduates CDL training. Driver Solutions President Mark Kinsel commented on the
recruiting scam affecting the trucking industry: “Driver Solutions never
solicits an up-front recruitment fee from our students. Our goal is to break
down the barriers that prevent good people from realizing their dreams.” Driver
Solutions’ unique program enables the company to recruit new truck drivers
without requiring tuition down payments, credit checks, or hefty loans and
co-signors.
“Driver Solutions never provides information about our graduates to
any outside companies or individuals,” Kinsel continued. “We want our students
to feel at ease with the recruitment and training process because trust is the
cornerstone to success in our business. Good communication makes sure there are
no surprises.” The company’s recruiting policy includes developing a personal
relationship between the prospective student and his personal driver agent
through constant communication. This interaction with Driver Solutions
personnel, the CDL training school, and the sponsoring trucking company assures
students of the integrity of Driver Solutions’ recruitment process.
