What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes two 'Daily Operations' subjects. The first 'Daily Operations' subject includes 1.5 hours of classroom training. The second 'Daily Operations - On Site' subject does not specify the hours of classroom training, but does not specify the hours of on-the-job training either.
This initial training program covers all aspects of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? business operating system, including both in-class and in-field training. The training takes place at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s principal offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, or another location to be determined, over five business days. Each training day runs from approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
In-field training, which involves shadowing an existing franchise, is required before the commencement of the franchised business's operations. This in-field training typically lasts for five business days and involves shadowing all roles within the franchise, such as Truck Team Member, Field Operations Manager, and Franchise Partner. This in-field training may occur in the Nashville area (East), Las Vegas (West), or another location to be determined.
Prospective franchisees should note that the FDD provides a general outline of the initial training program but does not specify the exact number of on-the-job training hours for the 'Daily Operations' subject. Franchisees should inquire with 1-800-GOT-JUNK? for more detailed information on the structure and content of the training program, including the allocation of hours between classroom and on-the-job training for each subject.
