Timothy

Timothy P. was referred to the Latino Academy of Workforce Development’s Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Training Program by the laborer's union, having already earned several certifications in construction. Intrigued by the opportunity for long-term career growth, he enrolled in the CDL program in May 2025.

Timothy approached the training with discipline and eagerness to learn. He demonstrated consistent commitment in the classroom as well as during hands-on driving practice, and in July 2025, Timothy successfully obtained his Commercial Driver’s License.

Following his certification, Timothy received a job offer from Hasani Logistics, a regional employer seeking qualified drivers. He officially began working as an over-the-road (OTR) driver, averaging 60 hours per week. Timothy now earns $0.56 per mile, a competitive industry rate that allows him to provide for himself while building a career in a high-demand field.

Timothy demonstrates how access to workforce training and strategic partnerships with employers can create real, lasting change.
