ST. CLOUD, MN, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Semper Forward, a division of Fastport, announced today a strategic partnership with Anderson Trucking Service, Inc. (ATS), a family-owned transportation and logistics company headquartered in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Semper Forward, a veteran workforce organization that connects transitioning service members with civilian employers, will build a dedicated pipeline of military talent into ATS driving and logistics careers, creating a clear path from uniform to the road.

The trucking industry continues to look for qualified, dependable drivers, while thousands of service members leave the military each year with discipline, a focus on safety, and a mission mindset that the job demands. Many of them have operated heavy vehicles, managed logistics, or moved critical freight in uniform, yet lack a direct connection to employers who understand how those skills translate.

Through the partnership, Semper Forward will connect its national network of military job seekers with ATS, a Veteran-Friendly Employer and Top Pay Certified Carrier, using installation outreach, hiring events, and direct referrals. Candidates can pursue company driver roles in flatbed, dry van, heavy haul, and Department of Defense Teams freight. These careers come with steady support, predictable pay, and multiple home time options. Independent contractor paths are also available, with equipment leasing through sister company Competitive Equipment Sales, along with non-driving positions in operations and logistics.
