Dedicates CDL Training Center to First-Ever Employee"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mw_release\">\n<p>RUTLAND, Vt., Dec.  16, 2024  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CWST) (\u201cCasella\u201d), a regional solid waste, recycling, and resource management services company, dedicated its CDL Training Center to Ken Hier, the company\u2019s first-ever employee, in a ceremony held at the facility on December 12. Established in 2020, The Kenneth A. Hier Sr. CDL Training Center (\u201cThe Center\u201d) has graduated nearly 300 drivers since its inception, providing the necessary training for people to achieve their commercial driver\u2019s license free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>A standing-room-only crowd of friends and family, colleagues, legislative officials, customers, and vocational school partners were on hand to honor Hier, who passed away in January.<\/p>\n<p>Hier, the first employee hired at Casella in\u00a01976, embodied a steadfast commitment to safety and customer service, performing over one million successful service stops throughout his 41-year career.\u00a0Known by many as \u201cThe Man on the Mountain\u201d from his long-running television commercial that highlighted his commitment to customers through all conditions on Killington Mountain, Hier was named the National Waste and Recycling Association&#8217;s Driver of the Year in 1996, and in\u00a02017\u00a0Casella dubbed him its Driver of a Lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality of our business is pretty simple, in that the only way that you succeed is through your people,\u201d said Casella Chairman and CEO John W. Casella. \u201cNo one illustrated that more clearly than Ken Hier. His commitment to service and safety was at the forefront of everything he did, and his example will continue to be a cornerstone for every graduate who comes through this training center.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vermont\u2019s Agency of Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle underscored the need for newly trained drivers, who cited shifting demographic challenges and applauded Casella\u2019s efforts to overcome them and sustain economic resilience. \u201cIt\u2019s truly inspiring to have a major employer be a part of the solution by opening this facility to get more truck drivers on the road and more mechanics in the garage. Trucking is part of the American fabric. It keeps commerce flowing, businesses thriving, and workers employed,\u201d she said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Center, which provides training, room, and board valued at $5,000 per student, is held over 10 days, has a nearly 100 percent pass rate for its graduates, and requires a two-year employment commitment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe commit to the students, who in turn commit to our company,\u201d Casella said. \u201cWe have seen over the last four years that drivers who successfully come through the program have an incredibly high retention rate past that initial commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hier\u2019s family was also on hand to celebrate the dedication, and Ken\u2019s daughter, Courtney, encouraged recent graduates and current students in attendance to follow in the path set by her father and \u201coffer your skills and your performance to build on the mission of customer service, teamwork, and integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur continued growth and success are predicated on the investments we make in our people,\u201d Casella said in closing. \u201cAnyone can buy the same equipment, software, and trucks, but our people and their commitment to our Core Values and culture are the keys to our success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About\u00a0Casella Waste Systems, Inc.<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Casella Waste Systems, Inc., headquartered in\u00a0Rutland, Vermont,
