RMCEP Drive for Five Success Story: Anthony Mondor

Anthony Mondor was laid off in November 2024 and decided to pursue his CDL because he loves traveling and had prior experience driving side dumps.

After discussions with the Wadena RMCEP team and completing the intake process with his job counselor, it was determined that the Drive for Five program would be an excellent fit for him. Anthony enrolled at 160 Driving Academy and successfully earned his CDL on March 11, 2025.

Now, Anthony has been working as a truck driver for just over 90 days. During this time, his wages have increased, and he is receiving longer routes. He is very excited about his future and grateful for the opportunity made possible through this special initiative.
