Minnesota trucking company teams with Semper Forward to hire veterans

Semper Forward, a division of Fastport, recently announced a strategic partnership with Anderson Trucking Service, Inc., 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.
