What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 1.5 hours of classroom training dedicated to 'Daily Operations'. This training takes place in Vancouver, BC, or another location to be determined by 1-800-GOT-JUNK?.
This classroom training is part of a broader initial training program that covers various aspects of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business operating system, including both in-class and on-the-job training. The initial training program is conducted as often as needed rather than on a fixed schedule. Franchisees should note that they must cover their own travel and living expenses for the training, although continental breakfasts, lunches, and one dinner are provided on training days.
In addition to the classroom training, franchisees are also required to participate in in-field training by shadowing an existing franchise for approximately 5 business days. This in-field training involves shadowing all roles within the franchise, including Truck Team Member, Field Operations Manager, and Franchise Partner. This practical experience complements the classroom instruction, providing a well-rounded introduction to the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business model.
