In this special edition of NextGen Talks, host Lindsey Trent sits down with Jeff from J&M Tank Lines to discuss how his company is tackling the diesel technician shortage by partnering with Wallace State Community College through the innovative Diesel by Distance program. Jeff shares his personal journey from mechanic to director, the steps J&M has taken to invest in young talent, and how their unique apprenticeship-style model blends on-the-job training with classroom instruction.
Listeners will hear how J&M mentors young technicians, covers training costs, and even encourages CDL certification as part of technician development. Jeff also highlights the pride that comes from seeing employees grow—from wash bay to lead technician—and even how his own son chose diesel technology as a career. This episode is a powerful look at how schools, companies, and individuals can work together to build sustainable career pathways in trucking and logistics.
