Success Story: Marmaduke Mounts

When Marmaduke Mounts first connected with Rural MN CEP, he was underemployed but determined to create a better future for his family. With prior experience driving tow and box trucks, Marmaduke knew he had the skills — and the passion — to pursue something more. “I like driving!” he shared with a smile.

After discussing his goals and exploring various training options, Marmaduke decided that the CDL program at M State was the perfect fit. Rural MN CEP helped cover his training expenses, and with hard work and commitment, he quickly completed the program.

Recently, Marmaduke proudly earned his Class A CDL license — a major milestone in achieving his career goals. He now has a verbal job offer to begin driving truck locally and is excited for the stability and benefits that come with his new position. Marmaduke’s story is a great example of how determination and support can pave the way to long-term success.
