We’re excited to leverage his 50+ years of experience to elevate our training programs and give more individuals the confidence to hit the road.”
Marshall Hagborg, General Manager, echoed the enthusiasm: “Alan’s reputation in the community speaks for itself , and bringing his school under the Burbank umbrella means we’re investing even more in local talent. This move supports our ongoing efforts, like the MELT Sponsorship Program, to open doors for those eager to join the industry. With Alan on board, we’re equipping the next generation with the tools they need to thrive.”
Hope Wallace, HR & Safety Director, added, “Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and Alan’s proven track record in driver education strengthens our focus on that. We’re proud to welcome him and his legacy to the team—it’s a win for our employees, our customers, and the roads we all share.”
