“When the CDL program was started at West Washington, the administration was looking to the future of our students. A commercial driver's license allows West Washington graduates flexibility for today and their future. A graduate with a CDL may jump right into a competitively waged full time position or utilize it for high waged summer work if they are furthering their education. We are very proud of Colton and this accomplishment. With this career certification, Colton will have many doors open to him!” stated West Washington School Board Member, Salvatore Sama.

Obtaining a CDL seemed like a natural step for Colton. “My father, who has his CDL, told me it is something very useful for the career I’m pursuing. It has always been a dream of mine to drive big trucks because not everyone can do it,” Colton explained.

West Washington has seen several students successfully obtain their Class A CDL since adding the course to its curriculum. “I became familiar with the CDL class at West Washington through a good friend of mine, Tate Timberlake, who was a former student in the program,” shared Colton.

Colton expressed gratitude to those who supported him in reaching this milestone. “I want to thank my father and Mr. Joe Byrum. They both pushed me to achieve this goal,” he said. Colton is excited and confident that earning his CDL will help him achieve his future goals. “My future plans are to work on power lines and become a foreman for a company, just like my dad,” he proudly stated.

West Washington CDL instructor, Joe Byrum, has invested a great deal of time and effort in helping Colton meet the requirements to obtain his license. “It was a privilege to coach Colton in preparation for his CDL-A exam. It was challenging, but very rewarding to watch him achieve this life-impacting accomplishment,” commented Mr. Byrum.
