Sandy Transit drivers are professional and courteous.  All SAM drivers have a commercial driver's license (CDL) and undergo at least 80 hours of post-hire training that continues throughout their career. All drivers are willing and capable of driving both SAM and MHX routes, which can require operating in winter weather conditions.
