Barry has always been willing to work hard as he proved while working on his family’s farm growing up. Now with a young family of his own to support, Barry knew he wanted to secure a great future for them. He contacted the Office of the Western Maryland Consortium to make a change and take the first step towards his future.
Barry chose to pursue CDL A credentials, receiving full funding for the class through our services.
Staff at the trucking institute not only cheered him on toward success but expressed how he showed up with a positive attitude and a smile each day. His driving instructor stated that Barry was an EXCELLENT student and further commented that he was one of the best for doing the maneuvers and over-the-road driving. He finished the class successfully and was able to secure full time employment with benefits with a local trucking company almost immediately after completing his training.
Barry will celebrate his one-year anniversary as full-time truck driver in April 2020. He makes a good wage for his family, gets plenty of hours, and enjoys what he is doing daily. The Western Maryland Consortium was happy to be a partner in helping Barry achieve his training and employment goals!
