Transportation
Industry Pulls
Its Weight at
College Event
F
ocused in part on promoting
career opportunities in the
transportation industry,
Anne
Arundel Community College (AACC)
held its third annual Truck Pull on
April 10.
Teams of five competed in a timed
event, pulling an empty delivery truck
over a short, marked course. Students
also participated in a Supply Chain
Relay and Load the Truck Race.
The Truck Pull was sponsored by
AACC’s Transportation, Logistics and
Cargo Security (TLCS) program.
“I don’t think students realize the
variety of occupations in this field,”
said
Kipp C. Snow
, TLCS Instructional
Specialist “They may think transporta-
tion means truck drivers or warehouse
workers, and yes, there are those jobs,
but there also are the logistics, the
product staging, the order fulfillment,
the documentation for freight and
import/export. There are jobs requiring
technology and analysis.”
Representatives from the Maryland
Port Administration (MPA) were on
hand at the event, as well as other Port
businesses and transportation and
logistics companies. These included
Ports America Chesapeake, Maryland
Environmental Service, Baltimore
Port Alliance, CSX, the Masonville
Cove Environmental Center, Rukert
Terminals, Securitas, the Maryland
Motor Truck Association, UPS and
FedEx. Several of the organizations and
companies had booths from which they
provided information on the industry
and career opportunities.
Snow said that transportation is an
ever-growing industry, and therefore, a
great area to study. “People are always
going to need goods delivered,” Snow
explained. “You are always going to
have transportation. Those jobs are
always going to be there.”
