January 10 2017 - 1:45PM
Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ:WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, is pleased to announce the enrollment of the
35,000th enrollee in its Professional Truck Driver Apprenticeship
Program.
Penny Vigil, from Lancaster, California, is the
35,000th participant to enroll in Werner’s apprenticeship program.
Currently, she runs freight from Los Angeles to Phoenix and back.
Vigil graduated from Roadmaster Drivers School in Fontana,
California, before joining Werner.
“Werner Enterprises was an easy choice because
they were among the top companies that offered full-time employment
with benefits and a pet-friendly policy,” said Vigil. “I enrolled
in the Department of Labor’s Apprenticeship program because it
sounded like an interesting opportunity.”
In 2006, Werner partnered with the Department of
Labor and the Department of Veterans Affairs to start the
industry's first Professional Truck Driver Apprenticeship
Program.
