"I had absolutely no experience or knowledge about truck driving, and thanks to my instructor, Julio, I was able to pick up this training easily and pass on the first try. Also, owner Rick Balli was really nice and flexible, accommodating me as much as possible to get my training completed. Thank you, SafeRide, for helping me get my new career started!"
