ANSWERING THE TRUCK DRIVER SHORTAGE Albany Technical College signed a three-year lease agreement with SouthernAG
Albany Technical College received a “bobtail” tractor unit in 2018 to use in educational services providing driver training and certification in the operation of tractor trailers. Albany Technical College and SouthernAG Carriers agreed to work together to meet a community and industry need to create a pool of trained, qualified commercial truck drivers through the Albany Transportation Academy and start them in a transportation career. Commercial truck drivers and diesel technicians are in high demand in our region and across the country. The benefit to the community is that Transportation Academy graduates will provide local transportation companies with a qualified and trained pool of talent. This will ensure a robust system in our community to move the goods made here to market in a cost effective, competitive manner.
10 SEPTEMBER | OCTOBER 2019
Students can successfully complete the Commercial Truck Driving program, consisting of nine credit hours, in eight weeks. CDL classes are offered in day and evening formats throughout the week. For eligible Georgia residents, the HOPE grant and HOPE Career grant will pay full tuition for Albany Transportation Academy programs. The entire list of requirements to enroll in the program can be found on the Albany Tech website, albanytech.edu, and also are available through the Admissions Department at Albany Tech.
