Kenworth T680 to be awarded
The program’s grand prize is a state-of-the-art Kenworth T680. The award is intended to recognize a veteran who has successfully transitioned from military service into a professional driving career.
“These five finalists show transitioning service members exactly what a trucking career can offer, and how quickly it can be built,” said Mohammad Arzola, one of this year’s finalists.
Recognizing military-to-trucking careers
