We Accept the GI Bill
Transitioning from a career in the military to civilian life can be a challenging period. Veterans leaving the armed services often find it difficult to align their acquired skills with opportunities in the civilian job market. Fortunately, the truck driving industry is currently experiencing significant growth, and it provides an excellent match for individuals with the disciplined and can-do mindset instilled by military service.
Truck drivers and the trucking industry are vital components of our nation’s infrastructure, with more than 80 percent of U.S. communities relying exclusively on trucking for the delivery of essential goods and commodities. Just as you served your country, now you can contribute to keeping America’s economy moving by becoming a professional truck driver.
Some CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) Academy locations have been approved for Veterans’ Education Benefits, making it easier for veterans to access training in this field. By pursuing a full-time career in truck driving, you can enjoy a range of benefits, including medical and life insurance, 401k retirement plans, paid holidays and vacations, and numerous opportunities for career advancement.
This industry offers not only a rewarding career path but also the chance to continue serving your country in a different capacity.
