Veteran Support
At DJH Express, we are deeply committed to supporting veterans as they transition to civilian life, offering tailored assistance to help them embark on successful careers in the transportation industry. Our comprehensive support services encompass various aspects of the transition process, ensuring veterans receive the guidance and resources they need to thrive in their new civilian roles.
​
One significant benefit available to veterans transitioning to civilian life and pursuing careers in commercial transportation is the Military CDL Skills Test Waiver Program. Through this program, veterans with qualifying military experience may be eligible to bypass the skills training portion of the Commercial Driver's License (CDL) application process. Administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), this waiver recognizes the valuable skills and experience gained by veterans during their military service and facilitates a smoother transition into civilian employment as professional truck drivers.
​
Veterans who qualify for the Military CDL Skills Test Waiver Program are exempt from completing the skills training typically required for obtaining a CDL. Instead, they can proceed directly to taking the CDL skills test, which includes a pre-trip inspection, basic vehicle control, and on-road driving evaluation. This streamlined process allows veterans to leverage their existing skills and experience, expediting their entry into the transportation workforce.
​
In addition to assisting veterans with navigating the Military CDL Skills Test Waiver Program, we offer a range of support services tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. Our dedicated team works closely with veterans to assess their skills, identify career goals, and develop personalized training plans to fill any knowledge gaps or enhance existing abilities.
​
Furthermore, we provide assistance with accessing educational benefits, obtaining necessary certifications, and connecting with employers who value the leadership, discipline, and teamwork skills that veterans bring to the workforce. Through networking opportunities, job placement assistance, and ongoing mentorship, we strive to empower veterans to build fulfilling and sustainable careers in the transportation industry.
​
At DJH Express, we recognize the sacrifices made by veterans in service to their country, and we are honored to support them in their transition to civilian life. By offering specialized support services and facilitating access to programs like the Military CDL Skills Test Waiver, we aim to make the transition process as seamless and rewarding as possible for veterans pursuing careers in commercial transportation.
