By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor Happy Friday morning, Acadiana. Let's get down to business this morning before you head outside this weekend. Silence and confusion filled the auditorium recently when no one walked up to the stage as names were called for South Louisiana Community College's commercial drivers license graduation. The CDL program, which lasts seven to eight weeks, had 69 graduates this term. However, only a fraction showed up for the ceremony. Drivers are in incredibly high demand. “As you can see, some of our graduates were not able to be in attendance today. Sadly, they are working,” Charlotte Leleux, mistress of ceremonies and director of transportation, distribution and logistics at SLCC, said. “That means they are actively employed."
