In response to high demand for workers in the truck driving industry, these sessions will introduce the process required to attain a CDL license, review possible funding sources and feature former students and representatives from over-the-road and short run trucking companies and local transportation companies hiring auxiliary positions such as yard jockey, dock workers or warehousing/logistics positions. Representatives from PennDOT, Estes Express, San Tran LLC and Camel Express Trucking will present information about jobs.
The demand for CDL A license holders has skyrocketed and far outpaces supply.
