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 this year. A new campaign promotes 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 the training costs, and some veterans may also receive housing assistance. This initiative is part of a broader effort to help veterans find civilian jobs. Currently, truck drivers earn an average of $70,000 annually due to labor shortages in the industry.
