Why Become a Professional Truck Driver?

Truck driving is a career in high-demand. With the shortage of available drivers continuing to climb - Employers need you! The ATA predicts we'll be +100,000 drivers short in just a few years! Professional truck drivers move over 70% of goods in the United States, providing job security, great pay, benefits, and a rewarding career.

Many graduates from our Troops Into Transportation program go on to: 

  • Run their own businesses as Owner Operators
  • Join organizations as logistics and human resources associates
  • Decide to drive a truck for decades to come

There really is no industry like the trucking industry to show so much support for American heroes.

Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program

Many of the employers that we work with participate in the VA and Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program. This program pays Veterans up to $14,000 over-and-above their regular earnings. These additional earnings are normally tax-free.

Veteran Tuition Reimbursement Program

Some carriers will reimburse Veterans who have used VA benefits to pay for CDL training. Reimbursement will cover most (if not all) of your education and training costs.
