Training and Onboarding
- Training is conducted over
two 3-hour sessions on
two consecutive days—in person and local to your terminal.
- S.P.E.C. provides all training at no cost to prequalified operators.
- Onboarding includes
portal and operator profile creation along with
training on management, and ongoing support.
Smart Support from Day One
Every operator is trained to assist. From the Hold to the Hub, everyone has access to hands-on support from day one - starting with the operator beside you, back by your deck manager and regional hub manager.
Why Partner with S.P.E.C
S.P.E.C. Training Program is not just a staffing firm—it’s the first and only national stevedore training and deployment solution built to modernize dry bulk cargo operations across the United States. Our model provides a unified standard, combining certification, real-time communication, and operational oversight to deliver unmatched consistency and safety.
Compensation & Advancement
We believe in paying for performance from day one.
Starting pay is above state rate pay.
Earn More. Rise Faster.
- Bonus eligibility begins early and grows with consistency
- High performance unlocks advancement to higher pay levels
- Every operator starts with a path forward--clear, structured, and rewarded.
No Dues. No Delay. Just Opportunity.
We don’t believe in making experienced operators start from the bottom. If your background and performance reflect Level 4 capability, you'll start at the Level 4 pay scale--day one.
After completing three full ship offloads, we conduct a targeted evaluation across five critical areas:
safety, control and precision, situational awareness, teamwork, and adherence to procedural training. If Level 4 skills are demonstrated, your compensation adjusts immediately--no waiting, no red tape.
Your talent sets the pace. We simply recognize it.
