The American Trucking Associations announced December 2 that it was committing on behalf of the trucking industry and its members to hire 100,000 
veterans as part of the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring 500,000 Heroes campaign.
“There’s no higher calling for an American than to serve in our armed forces, and I’d like to think that driving a truck–delivering America’s most essential goods safely and efficiently–is also a high calling,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. “That’s why we’re so proud to be partnering with Hiring Our Heroes and committing on behalf of the trucking industry to hire 100,000 veterans over the next two years.”
