Full Job Description

Driver Safety Trainer

Cherokee Freight Lines is a family-owned transportation company with decades of experience serving California and beyond. We specialize in providing safe, reliable, and high-quality freight transportation, with a strong reputation in food-grade and bulk wine hauling. Our employees are the foundation of our success, and we take pride in fostering a culture of respect, safety, and professional growth.

Position Overview

Cherokee Freight Lines is seeking an experienced Driver Safety Trainer to provide hands-on training, orientation, coaching, and ongoing safety support for our commercial drivers.

This position may be based at either our Stockton main office or Madera yard. Regular travel between both locations is required. An employee based in Madera will regularly work from the Stockton main office, while an employee based in Stockton will travel to Madera based on training and operational needs. Occasional travel to other company locations may also be required.

The ideal candidate will hold a valid Class A CDL with a tanker endorsement and have experience training drivers in tanker operations. This role is responsible for supporting regulatory compliance, promoting a strong safety culture, and delivering new-hire and ongoing driver training. Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish is required to communicate effectively with our workforce.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct classroom, behind-the-wheel, and hands-on training for Class A commercial drivers.
Train drivers on tanker operations, loading and unloading procedures, equipment inspections, and the safe handling of food-grade and bulk wine products.
Conduct new-hire orientation, road evaluations, remedial training, and on-the-job coaching.
Provide defensive-driving instruction using Smith System principles.
Evaluate driver performance and identify areas requiring additional coaching or training.
Reinforce compliance with DOT/FMCSA regulations and company safety policies.
Develop and update training materials, standard operating procedures, and safety programs.
Collaborate with Safety, HR, Operations, and Dispatch to address training needs and promote a safety-first culture.
Maintain complete and accurate training records, evaluations, and reports.
Travel regularly between the Stockton and Madera locations and to other company facilities as needed.
Communicate safety expectations clearly to English- and Spanish-speaking employees.

Required Qualifications

Valid Class A CDL with tanker endorsement.
At least three years of commercial Class A driving experience.
Tanker hauling experience.
Experience training, coaching, or mentoring commercial drivers.
Working knowledge of DOT/FMCSA regulations and safe commercial-driving practices.
Ability to conduct classroom, behind-the-wheel, and hands-on training.
Strong communication, leadership, organizational, and documentation skills.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel.
Ability and willingness to travel regularly between company locations.
Bilingual in English and Spanish.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience hauling food-grade products or bulk wine.
Smith System certification or experience with Smith System defensive-driving principles.
Experience conducting driver orientations, road evaluations, and remedial training.
Knowledge of adult-learning techniques and the ability to work with different learning styles.
Previous experience in a transportation safety or training leadership role.
