This is something we have to get back into and something we used to do all the time, sharing the awesome success of our participants!
Huge congratulations to both our Real Jobs RI and WIOA participants, Daniel Freeman and Brandon Midence! Keep an eye out for both of these recent grads who will be working for Casey's Oil and Sysco foodservice. It's always great to see how quickly those that complete our training find employment shortly thereafter. We want to wish them both the best as they begin their new careers in the transportation industry!

Tis the season!

The Driving School was extremely humbled to help again with the Giblin Family toy drive in partnership with the Providence Housing Authority. These toys were loaded into one of our trailers and dropped off at the housing authorities' warehouse Saturday night. These toys will be distributed to the children on December 13th in honor of Srgt. Timothy Giblin and his sacrifice, gone but never forgotten.

Thanks to Tim Malone and David Correia for taking one of our test tractor trailers to this very important event this Saturday night. We are extremely thankful for your help in making those kids Christmas that much brighter!!

THE LABOR MOVEMENT SUPPORTS THOSE MOST IN NEED

As the government shutdown drags into its fourth week, Rhode Islanders continue to feel the effects. Starting on November 1, 2025, nearly 143,000 Rhode Islanders will stop receiving their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) food assistance benefits until the federal government reopens. Many of these hardworking Rhode Islanders have never needed SNAP or food assistance before — and now, for the first time, they may be turning to local food pantries for help.

Stand in solidarity and drop off food at a union drop-off site, including General Teamsters Local 251 in East Providence.

🚛✨ It’s Truck Driver Appreciation Week! 🎉 Let’s give a huge shoutout to the backbone of our economy—the amazing Teamsters truck drivers who keep our shelves stocked and our roads moving! 🚦💪 Your hard work, determination, and long hours don’t go unnoticed. Thank you!

Well it's official, the deadline to submit the Real Jobs Rhode Island solicitation was today at 4:30 and we were certainly an early submission last week to make sure we possibly have the opportunity to continue working with the RIDLT and helping change lives one CDL at a time. With that said, we definitely have some exciting news to share and that if we are considered to continue our partnership, one of our local employers has joined with us in hopes of getting over 100 bus drivers trained. Yes, that is not a typo! For the first time in the driving school's 25 year history we are finally going to be doing passenger bus training working in conjunction with Ocean State Transit. 🚌🚌

The Teamsters Transit Director, Matthew Taibi was instrumental in helping to facilitate this as we look to elevate our school and help our current and future members.

The Touch A Truck event is not just for kids! Come by and talk to the Director of Training to learn about the industry and what it takes to hop behind the wheel of one of these big rigs! This is a great family event to participate in! Hope to see everyone there!

It's extremely rare that we have a true princess in our midst but on this day we did!

We are a very unique training school for many reasons and this may be added to the list. **Full disclosure we didn't require or force Jeremy to wear the "Princess" sash for his picture** There is a story behind this and trainer, David Correia I'm sure will chime in on this post.

All kidding and antics aside, we couldn't be prouder of another one of our Middletown DPW Teamsters and Real Jobs RI participant, Jeremy Franco for successfully completing his training and obtaining his RI CDL-A on the first try! The Director, trainers and trainees want to wish Him the very best as he embarks on another part of his career at the DPW!
