Congressman Gabe Amo Visits NETTTS Pawtucket Campus
The New England Tractor Trailer Training School campus in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, had the privilege of hosting Congressman Gabe Amo, who grew up in Pawtucket, to tour our facility and have extensive discussions about topics impacting the trucking and transportation industries. Here, we share more about the visit with Congressman Amo.
About Congressman Amo’s Visit
NETTTS Pawtucket campus had the honor of hosting Congressman Gabe Amo, a Pawtucket native who proudly represents Rhode Island’s First District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has spent his career fighting for public interests in both Rhode Island and Washington, D.C. As a congressman, Rep. Amo has continued to support federal policies and resources that increase economic and job opportunities for working families in Rhode Island’s First District.
During Congressman Amo’s visit to NETTTS, he received a first-hand look at the Commerical Drivers License (CDL) training available. He also toured the facility with members of the NETTTS leadership team which included our on-site truck driving range for CDL A and CDL B practice, the hands-on lab for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) training, as well as our truck driving simulator that allows trainees a chance to practice shifting drills before going out into the training yard. Of course, Congressman Amo had to try it out!
During the visit, both students and faculty had the opportunity to talk with Congressman Amo about why they became interested in the trucking industry and what their decision to be part of the NETTTS community means to them. Congressman Amo’s visit also included an extensive discussion about topics impacting the trucking and transportation industries with industry leaders from companies and associates like:
- Werner Enterprises
- Ocean State Job Lot
- NFI Industries
- Rhode Island Trucking Association
- Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
- Commercial Vehicle Training Association (CVTA)
NETTTS would like to thank the Commercial Vehicle Training Association (CVTA) for their assistance in organizing Congressman Amo’s visit.
