In addition, Mr. "P" Express, Inc. has been named as Carrier of the Year for both UPS and General Electric. Mister "P" Express, Inc. is also known for its innovative approach to overcoming obstacles. When it became clear Mr. "P" Express, Inc.'s, growth might be impeded due to the inability of find certified drivers, the company opened its own over-the-road (OTR) driving school, which offers students a 160-hour course featuring an extensive truck driver training, including hands-on experience, coupling and uncoupling, driver logs and trip planning. Completion of the course prepares the students for an entry level position as an over-the-road driver. The company recently acquired additional property in the River Ridge Commerce Center to ensure room for growth over the next several years. This location will be the site of an updated, state-of-the-art training facility, which will open in the spring of 2018. This story was posted on 2017-10-15 15:31:25
