Refresher Certification & Beyond

We recognize that every student is different with their past skills. This program is tailored to you and based on your skills from when you were behind the wheel before.

Phase One – Become a student at Veriha Academy

During your first week in Marinette, we complete an assessment of your skills and ensure you have the skills needed to join our student program. We are evaluating your:

* Pre-trip knowledge
* Backing (Straight line, Offset, Alley Dock, and Reverse Offset)
* Driving Skills

We are getting your skills refreshed with hands-on training, classroom, and utilizing our driving simulator. The cost associated with our refresher program is $1,550.00 for the 1-week, 40-hour course.

Additional days – $325.00 per day

During your Refresher Certification, you will be a Veriha Driving Academy Student and not a Veriha employee.

Phase Two – Wish to join Veriha?

If you wish to join Veriha afterward, you will start with our student program. Training will be based on the skill set you demonstrated during your refresher certification. On average, training will be four weeks as a mixture of range and being with an in-cab trainer out on the road.

During this training, you will be a Veriha employee and will be paid! Training pay ranges from $600 to $750/weekly.

Phase 3: Become a solo driver!

  • You will return to Marinette, WI to get your solo truck!
  • Ongoing: Drivers will receive monthly learning modules for development of safety and efficiency.
  • 12 Months: Drivers have the option to attend our Train the Trainer course if interested in coaching new drivers.
