* Wiscosin - One veteran found a great career in the trucking industry
-- Soon after leaving the military, 24-year-old Jesse Delph found himself in a difficult position — unemployed with $300 to his name. But all of that changed as soon as Delph met Jake Howey, a U.S. Army veteran and Honor Program specialist with Roehl Transport, an award-winning trucking company headquartered in Wisconsin. Within an hour and a half, they completed the necessary paperwork for Delph to join a two-year apprenticeship program allowing him to receive G.I. Bill benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, in addition to a steady paycheck from Roehl... Delph served as an active-duty Marine from 2008 to 2012, where he worked as a diesel technician tending to the largest hauling trucks with the 1st Marine Division... In nine months, apprentices will be on their way to earning $50,000 or more per year. Throughout the apprenticeship, they’ll receive on-the-job training experience and become Department of Labor-certified, heavy-duty truck drivers... Roehl will even pay recruits to earn their commercial driver’s licenses before beginning on-the-job training. Roehl’s support for veterans stretches back to the company’s founder, Everett Roehl, who used his skills driving trucks with the U.S. Army to start his own trucking service in 1962...
