“All of us affiliated in any way with the trucking industry understand it will be some time before it recovers fully,” said James Klausmann II, the company’s executive vp. “Families are faced with many financial hardships, not the least of which is funding a college education. We initiated this scholarship program last year as part of our Kinedyne Cares program, to help provide some assistance to deserving families within our industry. The program was very well received in its first year and we’re excited to be in a position to continue supporting people associated with the trucking industry.”
