A central Iowa trucking company has received a state grant to train a small group of Iowans to be truck drivers or for tracking trucks.

The company is using the state grant to work with Youth Emergency Shelter Services to recruit four Story County students for internships next summer. The students will work in the company’s training facility in Ames for potential jobs in Information Technology or Logistics. Melissa Brooker Zollman is head of human resources for T-M-C Transportation, the largest, privately-owned trucking company in the nation.

The company and Youth Emergency Shelter Services in Story County also will recruit and enroll six young adults who are at least 23 years old in truck driving school.
