On the brisk morning of January 24, 2024, the eager faces of Heartland Charter School students lit up the facilities of Young's Inc. as they embarked on an educational field trip designed to unveil the intricate workings of the transportation and logistics industry.
The visit commenced with an in-depth presentation on the historical journey of Young's Inc., where students were captivated by the company's progression from its modest origins to becoming a pivotal player in the transportation field.

Each student was presented with a safety vest, symbolizing their role in our shared responsibility for safety awareness.
Kyle, from our trailer shop, engaged the students with a live demonstration, showcasing the impressive range of tools used in vehicle maintenance. The demonstration included the use of a hefty wrench, capable of removing tires, and a demonstration of an air compressor paired with a jack that effortlessly lifted a loaded trailer, illustrating the fascinating combination of strength and precision required in this field.
Furthering their hands-on learning, the students met with Jose in the diesel shop, who introduced them to the intricacies of working with diesel engines and our eco-friendly CNG trucks. The experience highlighted not only the technical aspects of vehicle maintenance but also the importance of sustainability and innovation in the industry.
