Pre-Trip Inspection at a Distance

Day 1 at the Troops Into Transportation campus on Joint Base Lewis McChord now includes protective face masks and gloves. After a 4 week operational pause, our team and students were relieved to get back to work and resume their training. Our daily routine includes screening for COVID-19 symptoms, confirming all protective gear is worn by staff and students, and sanitizing equipment after every touch.

Recently Washington State Govenor Inslee signed the order to re-open their economy, which included essential businesses like Troops Into Transportation and The CDL Schools of WA. Press release found here: https://www.governor.wa.gov/news-media/inslee-signs-new-covid-19-order-phased-re-opening-washingtons-economy Fortunately, throughout the 4 week pause, State Third Party CDL Skills Testers were still conducting the road tests that allowed many of our February and March students to obtain their CDL. This is an example of how other states could have followed Washington State's lead of have third parties work together with state agencies toward a common goal. This has not been the case for our location in NY where we are entering our 8th week and second month of a full shut down. Our campus is situated in upstate near Albany, NY. The training team and students at that location have experienced a devastating interruption in their program, leaving many students and employees in limbo.

It's safe to say that all of our operations have followed strict guidelines by the CDC and used all measures to ensure safety of our students and staff. We have zero reported cases of COVID-19 and continue to educate our teams on how to stay safe while remaining operational. Cohorts are still forming via tele-delievery for the classroom written portion of our curriculum. We have adjusted to serve those who have successfully completed this online portion and obtained their state issued CDL Learner's Permit at campuses that have remained in operation during this unprecedented time.
