The Next Generation in Trucking Association is using a recently awarded grant to expand a driver training program for high schoolers beyond its California roots.
Co-founder and President Lindsey Trent said Next Generation in Trucking earlier this month was awarded a $127,000 grant from Knorr-Bremse Global Care North America. The foundation is operated by Germany’s Knorr-Bremse, which owns U.S.-based brake manufacturer Bendix.
“With this funding, we will be able to establish a standardized curriculum for training the next generation of truck drivers. We are committed to setting the bar high for training, ensuring that new drivers are well-prepared for the challenges of the industry,” Next Generation said in a prepared statement.
