Hamm applauded bipartisan leadership on the subcommittee — particularly Chairman Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) and Ranking Member Chris Pappas (D-NH) — for their work to pass the Veteran Improvement Commercial Driver License Act last year, which cuts red tape and helps former servicemembers accelerate their transition to their next career. “I am confident that this subcommittee will build on that progress to empower veterans, their families, businesses and our broader economy in the months ahead,” Hamm said. “Together, policymakers and employers can open more doors for the men and women who have served. We are committed to helping veterans build meaningful, long-term careers in trucking.” This article was originally published on www.trucking.org. Kentucky Trucker 15
