David R. Lennox Transportation Operations and Dispatching

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at the ATC for their dedication to the Dispatching & Transportation Operations program. When I first walked through the front door I was greeted by Rebecca, Ricardo, and then it just got better. Once in the classroom, Jerry made us feel like we were going to conquer the world.

When I first started I wondered what had I gotten into, but as the weeks went by and I immersed myself in the weekly segments, I found that I could learn and retain what Jerry was trying to teach us. Jerry’s vast knowledge of the trucking industry was very much appreciated and made it so that I wanted to learn more.

Jerry seemed to like giving us lots of tests, but in the end it paid off, with 19 weeks in class, 4 weeks out in practicum, and then a final week to refresh and study for the final exam was very fulfilling.

I also enjoyed how all the staff encouraged us to stick with it and that in the end it would be worth it, and would take the time to talk with us even though we were all very busy.

Once again, thank you for all the help!
