The Deep Dive
1. You Just Want Training, Not a Contract
HireRight is a background check giant. They want you to sign a contract for drug testing, MVRs, and screening. Their training is often an "add-on" hidden behind a sales rep.
CDL Schools USA CDL Schools USA sells the training as a standalone product. You don't need to move your entire drug testing program just to get your supervisors certified under 49 CFR 382.603.
2. Speed of Implementation
If you have a DOT audit next week, you cannot wait for a HireRight account representative to call you back. Our platform allows you to purchase 1 or 100 seats instantly with a credit card and start training in minutes.
