Job Overview

A growing commercial driving school that’s transforming lives by connecting people with high-paying trucking careers. They help students navigate the complex process of obtaining Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL) through government-funded programs that most people don’t know exist. With 1,000+ new leads monthly and a mission to open doors to life-changing career opportunities, they’re making a real impact in the transportation industry.

You’ll educate prospects about free government programs they didn’t know existed, qualify them for the right funding pipeline, and schedule them for office visits that can launch their new careers. This role combines the satisfaction of helping people access life-changing opportunities with the structure of a proven lead management system.
