CR England Truck Driving Schools Helping Food Bank

This week C.R. England is kicking off its
annual Food Bank Drive!  This year CR England is participating in a company wide barrel filling contest. The more barrels they fill the better. The company is rewarding the employees and the departments which donate the most food. This is a great cause to help the Utah Food Bank. Also, according to the Utah Food Bank, with a one dollar cash donation the food bank can get Nine dollars of food. The bottom line here is that cash donations can go really far.

Big Budah Visits CR England Truck Driving School

Not too long ago Big Budah from Fox13 News in Salt Lake City Utah stopped by to do his morning show. We finally got the footage. Check it out here:




The show was a hit. We provided our Truck Driving School Students with a free pancake breakfast and we gave out some baseball caps. It was great to get Big Budah into the cab of a brand new truck.

Trucking Company Vehicles To Pollute Less in Minnesota

In Minnesota on Friday, May 1, 2009 the state moved to the B-5 bio diesel mandate. The Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture Gene Hugoson told reporters at a news conference marking the B-5 milestone, "For state and national energy policy it is extremely important we move to less dependence on imported foreign oil." The B-5 bio diesel has a 5% soy additive content. That 5% is an increase from the former B-2 mandate where diesel fuel had a 2% additive content.  The trucking industry uses a substantial amount of diesel fuel so the mandate is a step toward a greener industry.

For clean air advocates this new mandate is definitely a breath of fresh air. In fact this mandate should provide enough of a reduction in pollution to create cleaner air. According to Kelly Marczak of the American Lung Association of Minnesota the higher the B-5 mandate for bio fuels could remove lung irritants and additional quantities of carcinogens from the air. Kelly was quoted saying "This action will prevent 139 tons of particulate pollution and 330,000 tons of life cycle carbon dioxide emissions from entering our air each year."

This is a remarkable reduction, and to put it into a real world example Kelly Marczak of the American Lung Association of Minnesota said that the reduction would amount to removing 55,000 passenger cars from roads, or planting 56,000 acres of pine tree forest.

This information is an excerpt of a great article written by John Croman of KARE 11 news in Minnesota. The original article also included interviews with the Minnesota trucking industry about their B-5 Bio diesel mandate. Articles like this are a great story for the future. Those looking for truck driving jobs or considering truck driving schools can believe firmly that the industry is taking steps toward an overall greener transportation industry.
