Conway truckload has launched a military appreciation campaign called True To The Troops, which kicked off with a ceremony in Joplin, Mo. on May 1st. During the event, they revealed two tractor-trailers covered in images celebrating the military and its servicemen and women.
These two tractor-trailers will ride through the U.S. during the entirety of May, which is Military Appreciation Month. This program aims to enrich the lives of veterans and current troops by providing them with the job opportunities with the carrier.
The benefits that the Conway Truckload Veteran Program provides includes paid tuition and tuition reimbursement to veterans pursuing truck driving careers, and the new Driver Certification program, where recent military drivers will be able to use their military driving time towards the increased pay scale for experienced drivers.
The president of Con-way Truckload Joe Dagnese gave the reason for the program during the commencement ceremony. Dagnese said that “The values learned in service to our country align with the shared values we hold as an enterprise, and complement our company’s purpose of strengthening communities and enriching lives by delivering the things that matter.”
