🚛💨 Big trucks, big learning, and big smiles at #ThomasMagnetSchool's Summer Learning Camp!
Students had a wheel-y exciting day as representatives from #TitanTransfer trucking stopped by to share what it takes to keep America moving. Campers learned how trucks transport freight across the country and discovered the many careers that make the trucking industry successful - from drivers to dispatchers and beyond.
The highlight of the visit? Students got the chance to climb inside the cab of a real semi-truck for an up-close look at life on the road!
