Trumann College will be offering Commercial Driver's License courses in order to try and get more truck drivers on the roads.

According to our content partners at Region 8 News, the classes are through East Arkansas Community College and are the first of its kind in the city.

After announcing a major expansion project, Steel Creek, the need for truck drivers is higher than ever.

Major Jay Paul Woods said, “Anytime we can do something local where people don’t have to travel even as far as driving to Jonesboro it is great for us."

The major then said he hopes to talk to Arkansas State Police about the possibility of having a testing site in the future.
