There is a nationwide shortage of CDL drivers, and companies that operate fleets of vehicles are scrambling to fill these positions and mitigate the current challenges facing the national supply chain. According to Indeed.com, there are more than 4,000 job openings for full-time, entry-level drivers in the Garden City area alone with an average starting salary approaching $70,000. Recognizing the significant opportunity this shortage presents for its students, Nassau Community College chose Ancora to implement these training programs, citing Ancora’s depth of experience and scheduling flexibility as some of the critical reasons for their decision.
