Evans Concrete Donates to
Ogeechee Technical College

Dr. Dawn Cartee, President of Ogeechee Technical College, recently accepted the keys to a Kenworth tractor from Bo Strickland of Evans Concrete in Claxton.  Evans Concrete donated the tractor which will be used in the College’s Commercial Truck Driving program which is headquartered at the Evans Technical Education Complex in Hagan.  “The Strickland family’s generosity in donating this truck is greatly appreciated.  It is the support of our industry partners such as Evans Concrete which helps us enhance our students’ education,” stated Cartee.  Strickland expressed the importance of having a skilled workforce from which to hire employees.  “We need qualified drivers for our operation to be successful.  Having OTC’s Truck Driving program close by really helps us have a good group of candidates when we have an opening,” stated Strickland.

In addition to Cartee and Strickland, faculty, staff, and students of the Commercial Truck Driving program were on hand to celebrate the contribution.  For information on Commercial Truck Driving at Ogeechee Technical College, visit www.ogeecheetech.edu, or call (800) 646-1316.
