White House Launches Freedom Haulers to Replace Undocumented Truckers with Veterans
The Department of Labor and Department of Transportation partnered to initiate a program aimed at removing undocumented immigrants from commercial trucking and filling those roles with American veterans. The initiative, titled Freedom Haulers, provides covered training costs and sign-on bonuses to encourage veterans to enter the industry. Officials stated the program addresses safety concerns by ensuring drivers are proficient in English while securing high-paying jobs for former service members.
During a White House event, proponents described the campaign as a common sense initiative to bolster national security and support the domestic workforce. The Department of Labor emphasized that the program seeks to crack down on illegal labor in the transportation sector. Supporters highlighted the opportunity for veterans to earn six-figure salaries with flexible schedules and medical benefits.
