The White House recognizes new UPS registered apprenticeship program - UPS
What’s new: UPS tractor-trailer driver Kevin Byrnes attended a White House event on expanding and improving trucking jobs Monday, April 4.“An email comes in from the White House with a fancy invitation and it says ‘the President requests your presence,’” Kevin said. “It was just so humbling. Made me proud to be an American and to be a truck driver.”
Who is Kevin: The New Jersey resident is an America’s Road Team Captain, a distinction he earned Jan. 18 through the American Trucking Associations (ATA). As a Captain, he travels the country to talk safety and to teach about the industry.
“What an honor to be at the people’s house representing the ATA, America’s Road Team, the Teamsters, UPS and truck drivers in general,” Kevin said. “Putting us out there like this showed people a great career choice they might not be thinking of.”
