Seven more states, including Louisiana, joined the Trump administration’s military driver program, widening a veteran trucking push that lets qualified service members move into civilian jobs faster.
The Freedom Haulers campaign expands CDL testing waivers and promotes veteran-focused licensing programs, allowing eligible drivers with recent heavy military vehicle experience and clean records to skip the road test.
The latest expansion builds on a program already operating in 34 states, aimed at channeling veterans into trucking careers and easing entry into an industry seeking more drivers.
