The morning and the afternoon are my favorite parts. Someone told me that you\u2019ll never see the same sunrise or the same sunset when you\u2019re on the road. I didn\u2019t understand that until I saw it for myself. The sunset never looks the same even if I\u2019m on the same stretch of road as the day before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hiring Our Heroes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FASTPORT<\/a>, and Kenworth are coming together again to recognize one deserving military veteran truck driver through the 2020 Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence recognition program. Kenworth will provide the top award \u2013 a Kenworth T680 equipped with a 76-inch sleeper and the PACCAR Powertrain featuring the PACCAR MX-13 engine, PACCAR 12-speed automated transmission, and PACCAR 40K tandem rear axles.<\/p>\n<p>Trucking fleets should nominate their best rookie military veteran drivers for this award. The top driver will be determined by a panel of judges. To qualify, drivers must meet four eligibility requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have been active military or a member of the National Guard or Reserve<\/li>\n<li>Graduated from PTDI-certified, NAPFTDS or CVTA member driver training school with a valid CDL<\/li>\n<li>Employed by a trucking company that has made a hiring commitment and pledge to hire veterans on the <a href=\"https:\/\/truckingtrack.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trucking Track Mentoring Program<\/a><\/li>\n<li>First hired in a trucking position between January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Full criteria and online nomination forms can be found at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transitiontrucking.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence website<\/a>. The nomination period is now open. The deadline for nominations is July 31, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The Transition Trucking recognition program started in 2016 as an initiative to curb the national driver shortage and create immediate jobs for transitioning service members. Currently, there is a nationwide shortage of 200,000 drivers and the demand is growing. Veterans and transitioning service members can learn more about career opportunities in the transportation industry at Hiring Our Heroes\u2019 Career Community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Transition Trucking award campaign offers a valuable platform to highlight veterans\u2019 positive impact on the transportation industry, and to introduce veterans to the excellent economic opportunities offered by a career in trucking. Hiring Our Heroes has helped more than 150,000 transitioning service members and veterans connect with career opportunities in trucking, and we hope that veterans will take this opportunity to shape their futures in a high-demand industry,\u201d said Eric Eversole, vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and president of Hiring Our Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Since being selected as the 2019 Transition Trucking winner, Campbell has been busy learning the business of being an owner-operator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel very fortunate to have this truck. I see such a potential in it,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cBeing a business owner, you\u2019re going to have your ups and downs, especially in the current environment. I\u2019m still nervous about the income, the operating costs, and things like that. Getting this truck has been a huge growth moment for me and it opened my mind to other possibilities, like owning my own fleet one day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campbell transitioned to open-deck hauling, set up his LLC, and connected with the 2016 Transition Trucking winner Troy Davidson. Davidson is a Navy veteran, who drives professionally for Warren Transport. He is a driver trainer to help guide the newest members of the trucking industry become excellent drivers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI set my goals according to the worth of my business and I have a number in mind that I\u2019m working to reach. I just want to see how high I can get it to,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cWith this truck, I can truly shoot for the stars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides economic opportunities, trucking provides a sense of peace for Campbell he recommends for fellow combat veterans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve talked to a lot of military veterans in the trucking industry and a lot of us have seen combat. We have experienced that type of stress,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cDriving a truck is calming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campbell served as a telephone technician in the Marine Corps from 1991 to 1996. In 2000, Campbell returned to military service; this time serving as a paralegal in the Army. He deployed to Iraq in 2003. Campbell retired from the Army in 2018 after serving a combined total of 24 years in the military.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife says this is the first time I\u2019ve loved my job. I loved the military, but this is completely different. I\u2019m a different person. I\u2019m a happier person because of truck driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transitiontrucking.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nominate a deserving military veteran driver<\/a> for the 2020 \u201cTransition Trucking: Driving for Excellence\u201d award today.
