Touch a Truck and the Evolution of Diesel Mechanics and the Future of Technology - Dave Brannan from Evans Delivery and Ron Scholler of TransEdge Truck Center

In this episode, Lindsey talks to Dave Brannon from Evans Delivery and Ron Scholler of TransEdge, who supported a Touch A Truck event by donating a 2024 Volvo sleeper truck. They discuss the critical role of the trucking industry in delivering essential goods and the pressing need for diesel technicians. With a shortage of both technicians and drivers, repair times are increasing, yet the industry offers competitive pay and opportunities for career advancement. One of the challenges is attracting younger workers, prompting outreach to local schools for apprenticeship programs. Experienced technicians are in high demand but often leave for higher-paying positions. Despite these challenges, they highlight how with dedication and planning, individuals can find success, even by starting their own trucking businesses.https://www.transedgetruck.com/https://evansdelivery.com/The Next Generation in Trucking Association is a non-profit trade association who is engaging and training the next generation of trucking industry professionals by partnering with high schools, community/technical colleges and private schools to connect to and launch training programs around North America.Visit our website:  www.nextgentruckers.orgContact us at:  [email protected] us on socials here:FacebookInstagramYoutubeLinkedInTikTok
