OnboardingService & Sales CertificationSafety CertificationLeadershipOperations Management

Most crews are trained by ride-along and hope.

  • Every new hire learns a different version of the job.
  • Sales conversations depend on who happens to be on the truck.
  • Safety expectations live in someone's head, not in a record.
  • Nobody can prove a person is actually ready for a customer.
  • Turnover erases whatever training did happen.

HaulerUP makes readiness something you can see.

  • One standard every hire learns, in your company's branding.
  • Interactive lessons and scored knowledge checks that gate progress.
  • Live role-plays a manager or trainer scores against a rubric.
  • Fleet and jobsite safety certification with a real exam.
  • A record of every score, evaluation and certificate you can show.

How it works

Five steps from first day to certified

Progress only moves forward when the person proves they are ready.

  1. 1

    Company onboarding

    Your logo, story, mission, values, policies and expectations — acknowledged and recorded.

  2. 2

    Interactive training

    Short lessons, real customer scenarios, branching conversations and decisions. No video required.

  3. 3

    Knowledge checks

    Five-question checks with an 80% pass, immediate coaching feedback and unlimited retakes.

  4. 4

    Live role-play evaluation

    A manager or certified trainer scores the conversation against a rubric before the next level unlocks.

  5. 5

    Certification

    Certificates, badges and a permanent training record for every person on the crew.

Training programs

Four programs, one standard

Everything is included in every plan. Only the number of active team members changes.

Company Onboarding

Your brand, your expectations

  • Company welcome, mission and values
  • Policies and expectations acknowledgment
  • First-day orientation before any training starts

HaulerUP Service & Sales Certification

The HaulerUP Standard

  • Score objectively and give honest, actionable feedback
  • Certified HaulerUP Trainer designation

What makes it different

Courses finish. Certifications are earned.

Role-play creates the experience. Honest feedback creates the improvement.

  • Live evaluation, not a click-through

    A manager or certified trainer runs the scenario and scores each required behavior.

  • Mandatory behaviors

    Some behaviors are pass-or-fail. Missing one means a retest, not a partial credit.

  • Hidden scenario details

    The trainee doesn't know the customer's WHY going in — they have to uncover it.

  • Coaching that improves people

    Every evaluation requires specific, actionable feedback before it can be submitted.

Interactive by design

Field training, not a digital textbook

Branching conversations

Choose what you'd say next and watch customer confidence rise or fall.

Weak vs. strong comparisons

See the same moment handled two ways, then explain the difference.

Sequencing drills

Put the steps of a walkthrough or a safe lift in the right order.

Hazard spotting

Find what's wrong in a jobsite scene before it becomes an incident.

“What would you say?”

Practice the words out loud, then compare against the standard.

Skill awards

Earn named skills that show up on the person's profile as they progress.

Fleet coverage

Safety training matched to what your crew actually drives

Assign the vehicles a person operates and their exam is built around them.

Pickup Trucks

Trailers

Box Trucks

Dump Trucks

Roll-Off Trucks

Why HaulerUP exists

Built from experience. Proven in the field.

“I built HaulerUP because I’ve seen what happens when good people are sent into the field without enough preparation. When the expectations are clear, the skills are practiced, and the feedback is honest, employees become more confident, teams become more consistent, and customers receive a better experience. This is how you create a high-performing team who wins on purpose...”
