Why are veterans well suited for commercial trucking?

Military veterans often enter civilian careers with skills that transfer naturally to commercial trucking, including safety awareness, equipment operation, inspections, route planning, accountability, problem-solving, and the ability to remain focused in demanding situations. Military vehicle operators may also have direct experience operating heavy equipment and large vehicles. These qualities can make experienced veterans strong candidates for CDL-A driving careers and other transportation positions.
