I agree completely.
BUT, this is not our call. We have spoke with the employment office about the quality of people they send to us and the screening process that trucking companies use. Might as well have been talking to a brick wall. We were told basically that they get so much money each quarter and they
WILL spend every last dime of it. If they don't then their funds will get cut next quarter. Also because we are regulated by the state we cannot turn down a student because we
THINK they may not be able to land a job in the industry. We don't set company ( trucking companies ) policy so we have no say in the matter. If a slot is open we
HAVE to let them in.
