Written by DriverReach | May 18, 2021 2:00:00 PM

If the last year has shown us anything about the trucking industry, it’s that truck drivers are an extremely critical component in keeping our world moving forward. The industry positively impacts every community and can make for a great career. But it’s up to us to act today to reach the next generation.

The trucking industry impacts every community and can make for a great career – on top of that, it’s an essential component of the supply chain. But it’s up to us to act today to reach the next generation. 

Lindsey Trent and Dave Dein, Co-Founders of The Next Generation in Trucking Association, saw a huge need in the trucking industry and created the newly formed nonprofit trade association with the mission to promote trucking as a positive career field, create career technical education programs at secondary and postsecondary institutions, and encourage the training and employment of young people in the trucking industry by connecting them to training and employment opportunities. 

In this upcoming webinar, we welcome Lindsey and Dave as they explore how to drive the next generation into trucking. 

In this webinar, attendees will: 

  • Learn about the trucking programs available at secondary and postsecondary institutions and career centers for the trucking industry and how companies can partner with The Next Generation in Trucking Assn. to create these programs in your region.
  • Explore how we can together change the image of what young people picture in their minds when they hear the words “Truck Driver” or “Diesel Mechanic.”  
  • Review the career path at your company and answer questions like, “How can someone start working for you and work their way up through the ranks?”

➡️Register even if you can’t attend the live event and we’ll send you the recording!
