Training/Transportation Training
“I have to say, Infinit-I has really helped us out quite a bit with the ELDT video training. Without them, it would have been a nightmare to get our trainees through the system. I have to say y'all have done an outstanding job with how you've listed everything, making sure that every section is covered, every unit is handled properly. And the customer service, Krystal is amazing. The Infinit-I team have been nothing but helpful and understanding. Gosh, helping me walk through every step of it, I appreciate them very much.
Thanks, Infinit-I for going above and beyond making sure we had a good product to give to our trainees.”

Gipsy Johnson
F.A.C.E./Student Services Assistant
“Hi, my name is Gipsy Johnson. I work for Pampa ISD and we have been using Infinit-I for our ELDT trainings and it's been great.
Our access for art staff, for professional staff, and our peer professional staff has been wonderful.
It's very easy to use, to set up. We've enjoyed all the classes available other than ELDT and we've been using the bus inspection class for our new drivers and also trainings for our previous drivers that already have licenses.
The ability to be able to complete the classroom theory and practical portions, and at our driver's convenience, is great. Also, the access to both mobile and desktop has been such a big help; because it's, you know, it's available for them to do at any time. Several have already passed their tests, their theory portion of the test, and have been working on their skills portion to go and test.
It's been super easy for them. They haven't really had any questions once they're set up and both on the mobile or on the desktop. Then they just go from there.
I've had questions on the resources looking back on their testing and being able to give them those answers. It's really easy, because Krystal has been there every step of the way to help us, and I've probably bugged too much but she's always there and within a day getting answers to us and even walking us through the steps.
But it has been a great resource for us and has extremely helped part of our jobs to make it easier and we really appreciate it and can't wait to keep using it.”

Transportation Route Coordinator
“Hi, good morning.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Infinit-I experience has been amazing. I cannot say enough about the Infinit-I customer service, Krystal. She does an exceptional job whenever I need anything. She is always there. She is always the first to ask what she can do to help or if there's anything else that I would need. I cannot recommend her more than anything else in this world, so I appreciate it.
And again, Infinit-I with Krystal customer service is amazing, thank you.”

Bruce Baker
Director of Transportation
“We're so glad to have Infinit-I help us with the ELDT training; has already been helping us with SafePupil online and all the safety training for the bus drivers. It's just been a real lifesaver as we have so many drivers, coaches, teachers that need to get CDL and it's really been a backbreaker for us.
It doesn't help us with all the delays we have from the DPS offices, but Infinit-I is just working wonders in our lives and just helping the district as a whole to be prepared for transportation and get all our drivers licensed and certified as we need, and it also helps with transferring the information and certificates to Austin and etc.
We just can't ever thank you enough.”

Dr. Steven Johnson
Director
“Hi, my name is Dr. Steven Johnson. I sit on the North Dakota Small Organized Schools board of directors; the superintendent in Lisbon and Fort Ransom. I've been in this business for about 45 years.
We've used Infinit-I off and on over the years with our membership through the North Dakota Small Organized Schools at a discount rate and during the time of COVID, where we couldn't have the normal workshops, we used them extensively for all of our drivers.
We have found that Infinit-I is cost effective, quick, and it's easy for our drivers to use that. I would recommend Infinit-I there.
Like anyone, and as part of your membership in the North Dakota Small organized schools, you most certainly will get the fees that we charge at a reduced rate.
Infinit-I meets your drivers’ needs, and now, especially with the new training that's required through the permit process for the CDL, and even more important that you have this opportunity in this particular platform for training your drivers.
Once again, I want to thank Crystal for doing such a fine job. She's been more than helpful here in the state of North Dakota and with that, good luck with everybody in this next year and fill those drivers’ positions.”

Betty Knight
Office Manager
“We've been using Infinit-I for a couple of years now and it has worked out very well. The drivers do their videos, normally I have to remind them; send them a text message and then they'll get on it. They get their videos done.
The only problem that I've had with Infinit-I is I wish that you could print multiple certificates at a time instead of having to click on each certificate and then print. That's the only thing that I would change about the program.
...I've watched a few of the videos, they're very informative.
The drivers have even told me that they have learned a few things from them.”
Burningham Enterprises, Inc.
Mike Sego
CFO
"This is Mike Sego with Burningham Trucking.
Thanks to Covid we had to make some changes on training and it's actually really good.
Been a blessing as far as training, because now we're training in more depth, covering more subjects and doing training more regularly.
We looked at several solutions.
We chose Infinit-I because of the many features, but to be honest we didn't know when we signed on, we didn't even understand the features like we do now. It's so great and Amber, our representative, she is like the very best customer support that I've dealt with in any regard. She is so on the ball with everything, making sure everything gets done, handled, calling to see if there's anything else she can do. I have just never met a better customer support person in my own life or better representative so.
So we're so happy with Infinit-I.
We plan on never leaving thanks."

“Hi, I am Donna with Kimrad Transport in Amarillo, Texas and I have watched every webinar that's possible for the new i3. I really like all of the improvements they've made. It is so much easier to work with, to deal with, to set up, to assign videos. I really like what they have done to it. So if anybody is wanting to come on and use Infinit-I, it is very easy to use.”

“My name is Michael Heilman and I am the Executive Director for the North Dakota Small Organized Schools. North Dakota Small Organized Schools offer a benefit to our member schools of working with Infinit-I Workforce Solutions to provide bus driver training at a very discounted rate.
While we have worked with Infinit-I, Krystal has been fantastic to work with. I've got multiple reports back from school superintendents and transportation directors, commenting on the wonderful assistance that they have received and support that they've received from Krystal at Infinit-I.
I just want to say thank you to Krystal for helping our schools and helping the members of the North Dakota Small Organized Schools.”

We also use their product for our monthly training, compliance as well. Infinit-I has been a great partner with us in the last year and has jumped to our needs for anything we needed to help us.”

Llano ISD
Steve Niemeyer
Director of Student Services
Our district was kind of concerned with ELDT, trying to figure out how we’re going to implement all the new rules and regulations that were coming down. I had calls from different companies offering me programs that would assist in the process. Then, I got a hold of Infinit-I and Infinit-I sold me a solution. If you’re looking for an ELDT answer, Infinit-I has it. We were able to walk through the process. Krystal and I set everything up; got all of our drivers in the system, all of our personalized content that we wanted is in there, we have a couple of people going through the process right now and they love the simplicity of the program. They’re able to do it at their own pace and go through the short video clips and all of the information that they’re learning is awesome. I’ve talked to them in depth about this. The reports that you’re able to see with Infinit-I; you can track their progress, you can see what they’re having issues with and help them if they need that. But, I think the #1 thing I like about Infinit-I is their customer service. You can call them up at any time and they have a solution. They have the answers that you’re looking for. ELDT. If you’re having problems, Infinit-I is the answer.

Pat
Manager, Loss Prevention
“Almost every lawsuit we get includes a claim for negligent hiring and negligent retention and/or training. Your product and the way it documents the training by testing at the end can go a long way in proving to a jury that the employer is working hard to put only qualified, trained people, out there. We have adopted, and our employees now expect there to be, required training 12 times per month. For over-the-road carriers like us who have a hard time getting drivers together in a group meeting, your product resolves those issues.
We used to spend $1,000 per driver on our orientation, including bus ticket, hotel, meals, and man hours for the instructor. The driver also had to sit in a classroom for two days going through training. If we hired a driver on Friday, he was not on the road for us until the following Wednesday. With Infinit-i, we have virtually eliminated our entire orientation costs because the driver can go through orientation online immediately, wherever he is in the country. That driver can also be on the road for us the very next day. Now, if we hire a driver on Friday, he can be on the road moving freight for us on Saturday. We gain four days of miles per driver.”
Swift Transportation
Tim McLain
Administrator
“We chose to outsource to Vertical Alliance to help us manage some of our new entrant driver processing functions, like pre-employment hurdles related to commercial driver permits. We knew it would be cost effective. What we did not anticipate was the human resource value. The system actually helps us identify our future best employees. Shortly after launching the system, we discovered that the applicants who finish the online process are the initiative takers who have a level of self-discipline that translates into a superior driver. It weeds out those individuals who aren’t serious about their careers.”
True Grit Transportation
Renee with True Grit
Safety Directory
“Hi, I’m Renee with True Grit Transportation and I wanted to share my experience with Infinit-I. Infinit-I has provided very high-quality training videos for our drivers. They’ve also handled the new driver orientation videos for us. Customer service is wonderful. It’s an effortless program, they actually assign our training for me, so I don’t even have to do that. I do highly recommend Infinit-I and I recommend you give them a shot. Thank you.”
“We recently renewed our insurance and changed carriers to Protective Insurance. After we made the change, I had a meeting with their Regional Loss Prevention Specialist, Anthony Baggett, to discuss our safety management plan.
Anthony was very favorably impressed with our safety efforts here at Church Transportation. We discussed the collision mitigation systems and dash cams installed on our trucks. We also discussed our utilization of the Infinit-I training platform for safety communications, orientation, and remedial training. Anthony told me during the discussion, that our utilization of advanced safety systems in the trucks and the deployment the Infinit-I training system made our company very attractive to Protective Insurance during the bid process and enabled them to write a competitive policy that ultimately won our business.
So, I want to say thanks to Infinit-I for helping us run a safer company, which in turn is giving us the opportunity to save money on what is one of the higher line-item costs for our company.”

"I cannot give enough praise to your client services. We are a relatively new customer, a few months, and [they] have been outstanding in attention to me utilizing your services. It's been a bit jerky on my part, as in, many starts and stops. When I reach out for help, each time I get understanding and patience with my repetitive questions. My representative is very knowledgeable of your services and if there are any questions will get back to me right away with a response to resolve my questions."

Ozark Motor Lines, Inc.
Pat Landreth
Transportation Supervisor
Steve Kessler asks, Did you lose drivers?
Pat replies “No we did not lose any drivers, not over training. Yeah we lost some drivers when we went to electronic logs years ago, yeah we lost a few drivers. Then we went to automatic transmission, yeah we lost a few drivers. Though you weren't a truck driver unless you had a gear shift. Then we went to cameras, when we went to cameras we lost a few drivers and we've now got a newer better camera and we've lost a couple from that but they needed to be lost. They weren't people we needed to keep."
Steve Kessler asks, Since you have been with Ozark and I know you are working on culture change and you are still working on all that, can you see or could you say that you have reduced violations, accidents and incidents and has anything gone down that you can put your figure on?
Pat replies “When I got there (Ozark Motor Lines) our unsafe driving score was 91 percentile and now we are at 27 percentile for unsafe driving. So yes we are making changes. I look at preventable accidents for the first six months of this year over the first six months of last year and we are down 48%. The culture that we are changing, monthly training, cameras, the things that we are doing are going to pay us bid dividends. We doubled our deductible this year, our insurance year started august 1st. We are going to take on more risk to save money.”

Grant Parish School Board
Kecia Nugent
Transportation Supervisor
“Grant Parish School Board initially purchased the Infinit-I for Schools program for use in the transportation department. Then we quickly realized that the program could be utilized system wide. Infinit-I for Schools has made recordkeeping for state mandated training, for every employee, extremely easy. Our human resource department no longer has to keep up with thousands of completion certificates and who has not completed their training. Now we just print a report! That easy!
As for the transportation department, Infinit-I for Schools offers numerous training modules for school bus drivers and attendants. Trying to get bus drivers and attendants together at each school every month for safety training is a thing of the past. With Infinit-I for Schools modules and testing, I know the drivers and attendants are getting the needed information. We also count those minutes/hours toward our annual certification time requirements.
Grant Parish has just begun to use Infinit-I for Schools system wide. There are many ways that this program can be used to make training and verification so much easier, such as posting notices on the main page where everyone logs in, verification of receipt of documents, messages, etc. We are using Infinit-I for Schools to document receipt of handbooks, policy manuals and documents that are required to be given to each employee every year.
We have transitioned into using Infinit-I for Schools fairly easily. The support and help from Infinit-I for Schools is unequal to any software support team I have dealt with previously. I highly recommend Infinit-I for Schools!”
Aeropres Corporation
Terry Warren
Distribution Manager
“We needed a way to get continuous training materials out to our drivers that also documented their training had been completed. With Infinit-I, the drivers have the advantage of completing the training on their cell phones, iPads, home computers, or computers at the home terminal. Infinit-I is a very efficient means of training drivers when you don’t have the luxury of having all the drivers together for safety meetings. Infinit-I was the perfect solution for us, and it has been a huge time saver for me, as well as the drivers. The support is absolutely great! I love the proactive approach taken by the service representatives. I would suggest Infinit-I to anyone looking for a more efficient, thorough training system."
Freight Exchange of North America
Sarah Valenzuela
Safety Coordinator
“I’ve learned so much. It puts things for any safety manager, safety personnel’s perspective, you have to look at the big picture and what you’re actually doing with the training. Ultimately you’re reacting, but you have to know if the drivers are actually learning. So being here, gives you so many more tools on how to implement those things, so you know the drivers are actually taking in. Listening to other carriers talk about their experience, you get a really good sense of that. That’s one of the biggest things I’m taking away. The learning experience, everything I’m taking back with me, obviously is going to be well worth the trip. I’m taking so much more than I thought I was going to take back with me.”

Dave Rawicz
EHS Director
“I really actually learned a lot. It was a great forum to allow somebody to concentrate on what the program has to offer, as opposed to being distracted or influenced by your normal work activities. Well worth attending, even if you don’t end up getting the Infinit-i program, I still learned a lot from the program, and it is definitely worth your time. It’s a short day and a half, and it’s well worth it.”

Jay Winegardner

“That’s the great thing. Vertical Alliance keeps track of everything for you. When a guy goes in to take the module, it will show whether he reviewed it and took the test. You get a report once a week. The history is there from the time the guy started to work with you. It shows everything that he looked at.”

"My favorite thing [about Infinit-I] is that it’s easy to use. The platform is easy to learn, it’s easy to navigate, and it’s quick. For my fleet size, or any size, you want something that’s going to be effective and easy to handle. And I find the Infinit-I platform hits all those markers."
"We’ve seen a decrease in accidents, a decrease in our CSA scores, and more effectiveness out of our fleet."hose markers."
Action Resources
Douglas Carothers
Manager, EH&S Compliance Programs
“We needed a way to keep our drivers up-to- date on recurrent training requirements under DOT and OSHA regulations. After evaluating a couple of options, we decided to try the Infinit-I solution. Now, instead of having to pull drivers off the road for routine safety talks, they can receive updates on both timely topics like CSA BASICS, FMCSA, and PHMSA and relevant topics like OSHA either from their home-based computers or from laptops with internet connectivity. Not only have the training programs been well received by our drivers, they have also helped increase productivity and equipment utilization, allowing the drivers to spend more time on the road and less time in the classroom. Nothing will ever replace face-to-face classroom training, but now we can concentrate those efforts on the more complex subjects.”
Robertson Williams Transport
Chris Van Meerhaeghe
Fleet Operations Manager
“We have a customer that requires special training. We posted the training on Infinit-I and were their only company that completed the training. We have a hard time getting all our employees together for training due to conflicting schedules. Infinit-I allows all of our employees to do their training at their pace. We really like that we can add our own curriculum and customize the training to our needs.”
Wilsonart International
Shelby Flaugh
Safety Manager
“Using Infinit-I has allowed me to provide quality safety training to all of our satellite locations and also to our main manufacturing plants. This system eliminated the practice of mailing training materials to these locations. It also ensured that every employee throughout the organization, regardless of location, is receiving the same training and is easily documented within the system. The feedback that I have gotten from employees has been very positive. I am looking forward to a long term relationship with Vertical Alliance Group. The customer support is outstanding and worked with me daily to answer questions when I was implementing the system.”
KLLM Transport
Ricky Parker
Director of Safety
“I started using online training in 2005 with another company, and we switched over to Infinit-I in 2013. The reason we did that? The other company was charging us a set fee and we had an allotted amount of training we could do. With Infinit-I, I can do unlimited training. There are others out there that will charge you a set fee, but that set fee only includes x number of training. You go over that training allotment and you get charged extra. We were probably $800-$1200 a quarter going over our allotted amount. We don’t have that problem anymore.”
Brady ISD
Mike Hagan
Transportation Director
“I have enjoyed using Infinit-I for Schools videos. The program is easy to use, time efficient, and the videos cover the whole gamut of what a bus driver needs to know. I also like the fact that as Infinit-I for Schools develops and adds videos to their menu, they are offered to be added to our site at no extra charge. It is hard to get very many drivers together at once to view other individual videos. With Infinit-I for Schools, each driver can watch independently at his/her own pace, or I can assign certain videos with a completion date. Finally, I have found Infinit-I for Schools to be very well worth the money. You can’t beat it!”
Puxico R-8 Schools
Roy Davis
Transportation Director
“I’ve used a lot of training material in my career, and I have found Infinit-I for Schools to be among the best. The ease of use for the drivers, and the detailed reports for me, make it the most cost and time saving way to train. You can even use it for safety meetings and in-service training. Plugin the laptop, go online, pick a subject, and you have training. Infinit-I for Schools takes something as important as training and makes it easy, time saving, cost effective, and relevant for our needs. Their service and support are second to none. They are a great partner in transportation training.”
Lewistown Public Schools
Kathleen Schaeffer
Driver Trainer
“Thank you for the great Infinit-I for Schools driver training program. Programs such as this have been long overdue and your continued advancement of new and innovative additions to the program are exciting and fresh. In as much as it is our belief that nothing should replace face-to-face driver training, Infinit-I for Schools is an effective and valuable addition to our transportation staff training program. Having the ability to schedule training modules for an entire group, or to schedule a specific training module to individuals to improve their knowledge and understanding, is an invaluable tool. It is enhanced by the included feature of maintaining permanent records of all of the trainings completed in the Infinit-I for Schools program. Our staff appreciates the quality of the training modules as well as the ability to study independently in the comfort of individual personal settings. Lewistown Public Schools Transportation Department thanks you for your vision and your commitment to assist us in the training of our transportation staff – to help them be safe and effective school bus drivers.”
