CTL, CCC TRANSPORTATION JOIN RIDGE CAREER CENTER FOR CLASSES IN FUTURE TRUCK DRIVING OCCUPATIONS

Auburndale, Fla. -- Trucking companies CTL Transportation, LLC, and CCC Transportation, LLC, together with the Ridge Career Center in Winter Haven, Fla., have begun a partnership to train students interested in obtaining a Class A commercial driver’s license. The program will insure students’ future employment in the trucking business.

As part of Florida’s Polk County Public School System, Ridge Career Center will provide students with nationally accredited Class A Tractor-Trailer Driver Training. Upon graduation from this comprehensive training program, students will have the opportunity for immediate employment through CTL Transportation or CCC Transportation.

The first three-week training class began on Feb. 5 at the Winter Haven campus. The program teaches students vital skills through a combination of in-class and on-the-job training, and students start earning a salary after the third week. New classes are scheduled to begin every three weeks.

In addition to outstanding instruction, the modern facilities at Ridge Career Center, located at 7700 State Rd. 544, provide an ideal environment for student drivers. The campus features a lighted skill pad with a half-mile track, spacious classrooms and an on-site cafeteria where sponsored students will be treated to hot lunches during training. “We are genuinely excited to begin this training partnership and look forward to creating quality training experiences and employment opportunities for each student attending the program,” said Lisa Harden, Director, Ridge Career Center.

While delivering comprehensive training is a major objective of this program, another priority is offering immediate career placement for graduates. To benefit from this partnership, a student driver should first apply to CTL Transportation or CCC Transportation. Those companies will then sponsor qualifying students to attend the driver training program at no cost, in exchange for completing one year of employment with the sponsoring company immediately after graduation. Sponsored students must repay the tuition loan only if they do not complete one year of employment with the sponsoring company.
