Long Haul Trucking Donates 2017 Peterbilt to Hennepin Technical College

A 2017 Peterbilt was donated to Hennepin Technical College‘s Medium Heavy Truck program by Long Haul Trucking on December 8th, 2021.

Partnerships like these are crucial for programs to stay up to date with the equipment they need to train highly skilled technicians. This truck will give students real world experience allowing students to perform maintenance and repairs that will help build their skillset.

“We have a commitment to supporting technician education. Techs are critical to the success of our company and the future of our industry. We are excited to help students enter their profession as well-trained as possible,” said Jason Michels, chief executive officer and president, Long Haul Trucking.

According to our most recent demand analysis, Minnesota will need over 13,000 diesel technicians over the next five years alone. Thank you Long Haul Trucking for being such a great partner to our colleges!
