Honoring Our Heroes — On and Off the Road
On Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. But it’s also a time to recognize the veterans who are still serving — this time behind the wheel, not in uniform.
At Parham Dispatching, we are proud to support and work alongside veteran drivers. These heroes bring the same grit, discipline, and dedication to the road that they showed in service to our country.
Why Veterans Thrive in Trucking
The transition from military service to trucking isn’t just common — it’s natural. Veterans are mission-focused, used to long hours, and skilled in navigating high-pressure environments. Here’s why the trucking world benefits when a veteran steps into the cab:
- ✅ Discipline & Reliability
Veterans know how to stick to a schedule, follow regulations, and manage time efficiently — essential in keeping loads on track and clients happy. - ✅ Adaptability
Military life requires quick thinking and fast problem-solving, making veteran drivers excellent at handling unexpected changes on the road. - ✅ Leadership & Teamwork
Many veterans come with leadership experience that strengthens team dynamics, whether they’re coordinating with dispatch or managing their own freight business.
Programs That Support Veteran Drivers
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) offers programs to help veterans transition into the trucking industry, like the Military Skills Test Waiver, which allows certain military experience to count toward obtaining a CDL.
Organizations such as Hiring Our Heroes and Troops Into Transportation also help connect veterans with jobs in the freight industry.
Veterans Keep America Moving
More than 10% of professional truck drivers in the U.S. are veterans. These men and women continue to serve this country — not in combat zones, but on our highways, keeping essential goods moving and supply chains strong.
Parham Dispatching Supports Veterans
We’re proud to stand with our heroes every day — not just on Memorial Day. That’s why we offer a 2% discount on all dispatching services for veteran drivers and owner-operators.
✅ Proof of veteran status required during onboarding.
It’s our small way of saying thank you — for your service and for keeping this country rolling.
