“Most importantly, we discussed the concept of adding a ‘post-graduation’ mentorship program for new drivers,” Fletcher says. “We would need to co-ordinate it with the carriers hiring new graduates, and it can be designed specifically to target some of the real problems we are seeing with new drivers in Northern Ontario in winter.”
