What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes a 'Daily Operations' session. This session consists of 1.5 hours of classroom training. There is also a 'Daily Operations - On Site' session, but the number of on-the-job training hours for this session is not specified in the provided excerpt.
Prospective franchisees should note that the initial training program is conducted at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s principal offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, or another location to be determined. The training spans five business days, with each day running from approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel and living expenses, although continental breakfasts, lunches, and one dinner are provided on training days.
In addition to the classroom-based 'Daily Operations' training, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? also requires in-field training, where franchisees shadow existing franchise roles such as Truck Team Member, Field Operations Manager, and Franchise Partner. This in-field training generally takes five business days and may occur in the Nashville area (East), or Las Vegas (West), or another location to be determined. Franchisees should inquire about the specific content covered during the 'Daily Operations - On Site' session and how it complements the classroom training.
