USA Truck Announces New Military Apprenticeship Program to Support Transitioning Service Members and Veterans

VAN BUREN, Ark.–(Zeest Media)–USA Truck has officially launched its new Military Apprenticeship Program, an initiative designed to provide robust civilian career pathways for personnel transitioning out of active-duty military service. Developed in collaboration with FASTPORT, this registered apprenticeship program underscores the company’s deeply rooted commitment to supporting the nation’s veterans.

The comprehensive, two-year career track specifically targets high-demand roles for professional drivers and diesel technicians. Through this initiative, eligible transitioning service members can seamlessly enter the civilian workforce without sacrificing financial stability during their transition.

A key benefit of the program is its unique dual-income structure. Participants will be eligible to receive their full Military Housing Allowance (MHA) stipend, typically valued at approximately $1,600 per month, directly from the military while simultaneously earning their full standard compensation and pay from USA Truck. This dual support system ensures that veterans and their families remain financially secure during their critical first 24 months of civilian employment.

“We are incredibly proud to launch this program and offer a meaningful bridge from military service to a thriving career in Transportation,” said George Henry, Chief Executive Officer at USA Truck. “Veterans bring invaluable leadership, discipline, and technical expertise to our team. By combining full USA Truck compensation with MHA benefits, we are removing financial barriers and investing heavily in the future of our nation’s heroes as they become elite drivers and technicians.”

This milestone adds to USA Truck’s long history of distinguished recognition for its veteran-centric corporate culture. The company is a four-time (2015, 2016, 2022, 2023) recipient of the prestigious ESGR Pro Patria Award (the highest honor bestowed by a state Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve committee) and was honored nationally with the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award in 2025, the U.S. government’s highest accolade for employers utilizing National Guard and Reserve personnel.

USA Truck is actively recruiting transitioning service members for these apprenticeship tracks. Interested applicants can find more information or apply directly by visiting the company’s recruitment portal at usa-truck.com/careers.
