In January 2025, Luis Antonio Rodriguez Soto walked into the Selma Service Center ready for a change. At the time, he worked as a palletizer at Bee Sweet Citrus Inc., but dreamed of something bigger—a career that offered stability and a brighter future. With encouragement from friends and his own determination, he decided it was time to pursue truck driving.
With the guidance of Selma ESR Ana, Luis Antonio enrolled in the Farmworker Advanced Program and committed fully to his new path. He left his palletizing job, began training at Apache Truck Training Service, and within just four days earned his permit. Determined to succeed, he studied every chance he could—using creative methods like post-it notes on truck parts to help with his learning. After a setback on his first exam attempt, Luis Antonio tried again, and on April 2, 2025, proudly became a Class A CDL holder.
Eager to put his new license to use, Luis Antonio began applying for jobs right away. Though he faced multiple barriers—insurance requirements, residency restrictions, and repeated rejections—he refused to give up. Each “no” only fueled his resolve to keep pushing forward.
Two months later, his persistence paid off. Luis Antonio walked into Baloian Farms, asked to speak directly with the owner, and earned himself a truck driving job. Today, he is proudly working full-time as a driver, earning a steady income, and building the career he had envisioned for himself.
Luis Antonio’s story is one of perseverance and hope. Despite the obstacles, he never let go of his dream. With support from and his own determination, he is now behind the wheel of a semi-truck—living proof that hard work and resilience can pave the road to success.
