Post-9/11 GI Bill | On-the-Job and Apprenticeship Training
Epes Transport is appreciative and thankful to the men and women in uniform who diligently served our country and protect our freedom. Your unselfish generosity, representing only 1% of the population, to protect the many is a testament to your Warrior Ethos, values, integrity, selfless service, discipline, courage and leadership. You have sacrifice much and now its time to do our part standing by our veterans. As a proud veteran myself, I am absolutely pleased to that Epes Transport understands that veterans bring those qualities to any company.
With driver shortages above 30 % and the baby boomers retiring from driving, it is essential to reach out to our military as they make their transition from the battlefield to the workplace. In 2014, we can expect at least 30, 000 making that transition to civilian life. Epes Transport is in forefront with that transition, we have donated a truck to the Fort Bragg / Johnson Community College to assist soldiers with attaining their Class A CDL's. We have been accepted to participate in the Post 9/11 GI Bill | On-The-Job and Apprenticeship Training.
This program assists veterans and dependents by allowing to learn a trade skill through training as oppose to just classroom instruction.
