Tulsa Tech Sees Enrollment Numbers Double For Professional Truck Driver Program
Tulsa Tech said about twice as many people are enrolling in their professional truck driver program compared to a couple of years ago.
Gene Keely is one of the students to take the driving test Friday before getting his commercial driver’s license.
“I haven’t been in school in a long time, but I’m used to getting up early so that wasn’t too bad. But you’re in a classroom for the first I would say six, seven weeks," said Keely.
The pandemic left Keely looking for a new career path. There are other students in the program with similar stories.
