Kiros Academy was built by contractors, for contractors.
With 70 years of combined experience in operations and education—including 5 years as the owners of a successful last-mile delivery business—we know firsthand the challenges of running a safe, efficient operation while trying to train new drivers. We created Kiros Academy to make that process easier, more effective, and more affordable for delivery businesses of any size.
