Since the events of September 11th, our service members have played a tremendous role in fighting terrorism and keeping our country secure. The readiness of the Regular, Guard and Reserve components of our Armed Forces is at an all-time high and we can take great pride in that achievement. At the same time, we are now seeing unprecedented levels of unemployment and underemployment among members of the Armed Forces when they transition out of the Military. The promise of a secure job provides service members and their families with peace of mind, which is increasingly important.

ATA is exploring its opportunities on how to recruit military veterans into careers in the trucking industry. To start, ATA is making available to its members and to others in the trucking industry access to four web based job boards created specifically for veterans looking for civilian employment. Each job board and the links to them are described below.

This site is operated by the U. S. Army Reserve and the National Guard through partnership as the Employer Partnership of the Armed Forces.
