                                       WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS SAYING:


                   “When I decided to get my CDL, I never thought about the propane industry. I didn’t think the propane industry was looking for CDL drivers (either over
                   the road or home each night). During the GeneratioNext Propane Pros presentation to my CDL class, I realized the incredible opportunities the propane
                   industry offers. They offer transport and delivery driver positions, all of which offer high salaries, comprehensive benefits, overtime opportunities, paid
                   training, bonuses, discounts on propane, paid time off, and much more. The propane industry should be a top career choice for all CDL drivers! They
                   make it easy by providing contacts to propane employers in Alabama and across the country as well as access to their job posting board on their free
                   website, NextGenPropane.com. I can’t wait to start my career working for a local propane employer. Thank you GeneratioNext Propane Pros!”
                   Kashari Ross, CDL Student, Central Alabama Community College, Alexandria, Alabama
                   “During a time when labor shortages and an aging work force are plaguing our industry, Michelle with GeneratioNext Propane Pros gave us an
                   opportunity that we would not have otherwise had to speak with CDL classes in our area to promote not only the propane industry but also Superior
                   Gas. Michelle provided a positive, pro propane PowerPoint highlighting the benefits of our industry, made the presentation process very easy, and
                   guided us through discussing career options available within our company. Hopefully, informing and educating new CDL candidates about career
                   opportunities in the propane industry will spur much needed “young blood” to enter the propane workforce. We greatly appreciate the opportunity that
                   Michelle and GeneratioNext facilitated for us.”
                   Rainer Montgomery & Jerry Walker, Superior Gas Company, Alabama
                   “GeneratioNext Propane Pros conducted a zoom presentation to our CDL students and let them know about the career opportunities in the propane
                   industry. Regardless of whether or not the students want to use their CDL to do over the road, long haul transport or want to be home every night, there
                   is a rewarding job opportunity for them. During the presentation, I had several students already asking how they could contact local propane companies
                   to discuss employment. Through the NextGenPropane.com website and connecting with Michelle, the students were able to connect with potential
                   employers. Partnering with GeneratioNext Propane Pros is a no brainer – we’re evening looking into adding CETP training to our curriculum! We are
                   confident this will be a beneficial relationship for both Mid State Driving Academy and the propane industry in Alabama.”
                   Ryan Hawkins, Truck Driving Instructor, Mid State Driving Academy, Montgomery, Alabama
