nationwide. The national program was approved by the U.S. Department of
Labor to assist military veterans as they transition to a civilian
occupation. Over the course of a year, the apprentice will undergo
specialized training to be prepared for a career in the transportation
industry.
While enrolled in the apprenticeship program, veterans can earn
additional pay through the monthly VA educational program benefit from
their GI Bill on top of their Swift paycheck. For many years Swift has
offered a tuition scholarship program to veterans through the Swift
Academy network. The apprenticeship program builds on the existing
scholarship program and provides additional nationwide support to
veterans. Swift Transportation is the largest full truckload carrier in
the United States and a leader within the transportation industry. Swift
values the dedication, integrity and professionalism our military
veterans bring to the transportation industry.
It is with immense pride that Swift Transportation has been approved to
offer this national program to our military veterans. We thank you for
your sacrifice for and service to our great country!
