Our Drivers

We exhibit excellence in everything we do, including developing our staff. Drivers are screened thoroughly to determine if they are compatible with axel’s philosophy. Driving records are reviewed for infractions. In addition, a doctor conducts a DOT physical exam to screen candidates. A supervisor trains the candidate before he or she is allowed to operate a vehicle. Not only are the candidates trained in all crucial safety techniques, but they also to understand the hardship and difficulties that arise for persons that use this service. Drivers are also put on a 90-day, no-fault probationary period. This process allows us to put the right candidate in the driver seats to handle our most delicate customers.
