Aspiring commercial truck drivers at Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) are set to benefit from a recent $1,000 grant awarded by Love’s Travel Stops. The grant, officially received by the GNTC Foundation, is designated to support the college’s Commercial Truck Driving – Class A program by covering the cost of essential driver log books for students.

The funds will enable GNTC to purchase driver log books in bulk, providing them free of charge to students enrolled in the Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) certificate program. This initiative aims to remove a financial barrier, helping current and future students successfully complete their training.

“Obtaining a CDL offers a second chance for many GNTC students,” explained Robert Browder, program director and instructor of Commercial Truck Driving – Class A at GNTC. “Whether students are searching for a good-paying job with benefits to support their family or have difficulty finding employment, the CDL – Class A certificate program can change lives by providing basic training in the principles and skills of commercial truck operations.”

GNTC’s Commercial Truck Driving – Class A certificate program is an intensive 8 to 10-week program designed to equip students with the foundational knowledge and skills required for commercial truck operations. Upon completion of the program, students are administered the official Georgia CDL skills exam. The program is based at GNTC’s Walker County Campus in Rock Spring.

Love’s Travel Stops’ commitment to the communities where it operates is reflected in its giving initiatives. The company focuses its philanthropic efforts on programs aligned with its core pillars, which include Pre-K through 12th grade education, youth and family programs, and the professional trucking community. This grant to GNTC directly supports the vital professional trucking sector, helping to build a skilled workforce for the industry.
