Our Leadership
Gary Martin has been a respected figure in the transportation industry since 1984.

His dedication and skill propelled him into leadership roles, including fleet manager of a Hazardous Materials division, manager of a Hazardous Materials Waste department, director of training for a national carrier, and Vice President of a secondary truck fleet. Since transitioning from corporate management in 2000, Gary has focused on education, founding and building CDL training programs for national carriers and sharing his expertise with thousands of aspiring drivers.
