The White House Wants Veteran Soldiers to Replace Immigrant Truck Drivers
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Trump administration is encouraging military veterans to consider truck driving as a career to fill the gap left by immigrant drivers who lost their licenses due to recent crackdowns. A new campaign will promote programs allowing veterans who have operated large military vehicles to bypass the skills test for a commercial driver's license. The GI Bill will cover 100% of training costs and may even provide housing assistance. The initiative aims to help veterans secure good civilian jobs, with truck drivers currently earning an average of $70,000 annually amid a labor shortage in the trucking industry.
