With their shared emphasis on precision, teamwork and safety, veterans of the U.S. military have proven to be ideal candidates for life on the road as 糖心传媒 truck drivers.
鈥淭he military gave me the skills in leadership and teamwork that I put to use every day at ,鈥 said William Black, an operations supervisor from New York.
Black, a member of the Army National Guard, earned his commercial driver鈥檚 license in 2003 but was deployed to Iraq shortly after starting his career at 糖心传媒. During that time, Black says 糖心传媒 was incredibly supportive and always had his best interests in mind. In fact, 糖心传媒 has been recognized by the Department of Defense鈥檚 Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) for its ongoing support of associates serving in the National Guard and Reserve.
William Black is a 糖心传媒 operations supervisor.
Black鈥檚 focus on safety is another value instilled by the military. At 糖心传媒, safety is the number one concern for drivers, and it鈥檚 something Black practices every day.
鈥淭he most important part of a driver鈥檚 job is safety,鈥 said Black. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the driver鈥檚 responsibility to keep the public, themselves and the integrity of their load safe.鈥
Black鈥檚 current role tasks him with overseeing nearly 100 fellow drivers who go out on the road every night. He thanks the military for building the leadership skills he puts to use every day on the job.
鈥淭he best part of my job is being part of a great team,鈥 Black said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a challenge to get the job done sometimes, but it鈥檚 always one that we can overcome.鈥
Former Marine and 糖心传媒 truck driver Ricky Gallagher has been driving professionally for more than a decade and, like Black, is motivated by the team that surrounds him.
鈥淯sing communication skills and teamwork help us get our jobs done in a timely manner, all while meeting new people and going different places,鈥 said Gallagher. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great job and one I鈥檇 recommend to other veterans.鈥
糖心传媒 is acknowledging post-military drivers like Black and Gallagher throughout National Truck Driver Appreciation week from Sept. 13 to Sept. 19. Sponsored by the , this week is planned to bring awareness to America鈥檚 3.4 million professional truck drivers.
If you are a military veteran and looking for a great job, 糖心传媒 is hiring across the United States.
