Dale KinneyHeavy Equipment TeacherThank you for considering Heavy Equipment. I have been serving high school students at TST BOCES since 2014. I actually graduated years ago from the same program that I am instructing here on campus. I have obtained an Associate’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering at SUNY Morrisville and have taken continuing education classes at SUNY Oswego. I have a New York State inspector’s license for light and heavy duty vehicles. I hold a current Class A commercial driver’s license with all endorsements including tow truck operating. I also have completed 40-hour OSHA training and confined space training. I have attended several factory trainings with heavy truck and agricultural equipment manufacturers. Through my mechanical and equipment operating experience gained by working in both public and private industries, I have learned skills to pass on to students to help them become successful in this ever changing world. I believe the most important part of the program is the students, and I care to make this a positive experience as you start your life’s journey.
