William Vergantino had a successful and profitable career as a truck driver. He was not, however, completely satisfied with the profession. It seems that the time away from home over the road trucking demanded, was more than he was willing to give. William wanted to be home more with his family. William caught an ad on the TV for National Training’s Heavy Equipment School, and he thought it sounded interesting and a way out of trucking.

Pictured here is Mr. Matthew Boston of West Palm Beach. Matt has a nick name of “Big Dog.” Matt attended our Heavy Equipment Operators School back in October of 2004. Although he was properly trained on all the common construction equipment, we did not train him on the Wiggins Marina Bull used to move boats to and from the water.

Matt is employed by PGA Marina. He is responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollar’s worth of marine vessels. One mistake could seriously impact PGA’s bottom line and Matt’s employment history. That’s why PGA was looking for someone professionally trained. The skills Matt learned at National translated well into what PGA required.

Standing next to this impressive looking Kamatsu 200 Hoe Ram is our Mr. Jeff Pickens. Jeff is originally from San Antonio Texas. He was a proud member of the United States Air Force. Jeff dedicated 22 years of his life to defending freedom. After Jeff’s Air Force career was over, he still needed something to do and to feel useful.

National Heavy Equipment Operators School was Jeff’s gateway to the new career. When Jeff was a little boy, his grandfather took him to a strip mine in Southern Ohio where he saw the world’s largest dump truck. It was that visit and that dump truck that started a dream. Jeff gave us a call and he was soon enrolled in his future.

Pictured inside this Caterpillar 938F Articulating Loader is a very happy man. His name is Sean Williams. Sean graduated from National Heavy Equipment Operators School November 0f 2004.. Prior to discovering his talent for large earthmoving machines, Sean worked for Eastman Kodak.. Sean operated a forklift for them until that fateful day when he was informed his services would no longer be required. It seems Eastman Kodak found someone willing to do it for a lot less money, in China and Mexico. Sadly, many businesses are finding it necessary to move portions of their operations off-shore.

Delwin McCowan had experience operating heavy equipment before deciding to come to National Heavy Equipment Operators School. Delwin wanted to become certified as a heavy equipment operator. Certifications are extremely difficult to obtain without formal training. Delwin was not fond of the home study course that prepared him for resident training. He decided on heavy equipment as a career mostly because his former profession was not diverse enough. Being a heavy equipment operator allows him to use different machines, perform different tasks, and meet new people.
