Nebraska Joins Federal Program to Train Veterans as Commercial Truckers
Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen announced the state will participate in the Freedom Haulers campaign. This initiative aims to transition military veterans into careers as commercial truck drivers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated the program leverages the GI Bill and SkillBridge programs to expedite licensing for former service members. The administration intends for these trusted veterans to replace undocumented workers currently operating on national roads. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Labor have activated the interagency hiring effort to streamline the recruitment process. Trump characterized the move as a dual effort to provide jobs for veterans while increasing road safety. Supporters of the program claim it will remove illegal aliens from the transportation sector by prioritizing domestic military talent.
