James and his case manager came up with a plan for him to attend CDL training at CBM Driving Academy in Duncan, OK. James started in August of 2021 and was able to excel through his required tests within a month. Immediately following his completion of truck driving school, James was hired on through AAA Staffing where he is now making $2,100 a week. James never once let his past or other barriers affect him.
