American Trucking Associations (ATA) Hiring Veterans As Truck Drivers

American Trucking Associations (ATA) announced it was committing on behalf of the trucking industry and its members to hire 100,000 veterans as part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring 500,000 Heroes campaign.

“There’s no higher calling for an American than to serve in our armed forces, and I’d like to think that driving a truck – delivering America’s most essential goods safely and efficiently is also a high calling,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. “That’s why we’re so proud to be partnering with Hiring Our Heroes and committing on behalf of the trucking industry to hire 100,000 veterans over the next two years.”

ATA and Hiring Our Heroes will use Fastports’s trucking track system as a single portal to help match veterans with fleets with openings.
