Through a tech-enabled career and training portal, one-on-one guidance, and career connections, we remove barriers to participation, track milestones in real time, and assist graduates as they pursue stable employment and long-term economic mobility
Why We Exist
Trucking offers real pathways — and real careersThe commercial trucking industry is one of the most accessible and high-demand fields, yet too many capable individuals are excluded by the high cost of training or the stigma of a past record. Our mission is to create pathways to prosperity by equipping participants with CDL training, wraparound support, and employer connections that lead to real careers, lasting stability, and long-term economic mobility.
