Committee Backs Truckload Academy

LAS VEGAS — Members of the Truckload Carriers Assn. Education & Training Committee endorsed establishing a program to offer education and training to executives, mid-level managers, safety personnel, dispatchers, driver recruiters and others.

The so-called Truckload Academy would offer a mix of existing and new training programs delivered directly to individuals at work or at home through video and audio tapes and the Internet.

TCA President Lana Batts said the program will be financed in part by reserves and could take up to five years to fully develop.
