U.S. Chamber member Con-way Freight is partnering with the U.S. Army Reserve to recruit, train, and employ reserve soldiers seeking careers in the trucking industry.

As a participant in the Army Reserve Employer Partnership, Con-way Freight will share employees with the Army Reserves.. The agreement provides Army Reserve soldiers opportunities for employment with Con-way Freight once they successfully complete their military occupational training.

"This unique initiative provides a mechanism for the Army Reserve and civilian industries to share the common goals of strengthening the community, supporting reserve soldiers and their families, and maintaining a strong economy," said Ann Beauchesne, vice president of the Chamber's National Security and Emergency Preparedness Department.
