Nebraska joins Freedom Haulers initiative, streamlining veteran access to trucking careers. BY Keally Peck | August 4, 2026 Lincoln, NE- Nebraska is joining President Donald Trump's new Freedom Haulers initiative, a federal program aimed at helping military veterans transition into commercial trucking careers by making it easier to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL). Governor Jim Pillen announced the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles will implement changes allowing eligible veterans with experience operating certain military vehicles to receive a waiver for the written CDL test. Nebraska already waives the driving skills test for qualified applicants. The program also extends the waiver eligibility period from 12 months to 24 months after military service. In addition, veterans without prior experience operating heavy military vehicles can take advantage of federally supported CDL training programs. Nebraska-based Werner Enterprises, which participated in the program's national rollout, aimed to hire roughly 1,400 veteran drivers this year. This initiative aims to create new career opportunities for veterans while helping address workforce needs in Nebraska's transportation industry.
