A service provider for the trucking industry finds the perfect employee to help drivers succeed in finance and business.

When Alysha left her job at a truck stop off I-80 near Laramie to start the Climb program, she never imagined it would lead to the professional career of her dreams.

Alysha’s job at the truck stop helping handle breakdowns and maintenance issues meant working on the weekends and was hard on her three young kids. She really hoped Climb could help her find a job with higher wages, a better schedule, and benefits for her family.

Climb’s training focused on skills that are specific to office careers, like customer service and Microsoft Office®. When the program concluded and it was time for job placement, our staff found the perfect fit for Alysha at ATBS, a company that helps truck drivers with taxes, bookkeeping, and business solutions.

“We’re also really interested in the support Climb provides as employees are new on the job. We haven’t ever seen this before and the ongoing coaching and feedback have created a real structure for success.”

Doug Roehrkasse is ATBS’s Laramie General Manager, and his team hired Alysha as a Business Consultant to assist truck drivers in creating budget plans and calculating how many miles they need to drive each week to meet revenue goals.

“We’re thrilled that Alysha can speak the language of the trucking industry from her previous job,” says Doug. “We’re also really interested in the support Climb provides as employees are new on the job. We haven’t ever seen this before and the ongoing coaching and feedback have created a real structure for success.”

Doug says ATBS is excited to help a mom in the community become financially stable and hopes to hire more Climb grads in the future. “With Climb, we know that we’ll get employees who are well-trained and motivated.”
