Maria M. is currently a Sergeant First Class in the Army Reserves. Her occupational specialty is Army Motor Transport Operator (88 Mike). Maria has been a Swift driver for four years as a dedicated driver.

“I absolutely recommend driving as a career for veterans,” Maria says. “We still have to do the same things we do in the military — you’ve got to get the mission done. That mindset is still with us when we come out.”

One of the major benefits for Maria and other Reserve or National Guard members is that Swift will make sure you are home in time for your military obligations. We believe active duty and reservist members should be able to pursue a career and gain civilian experience without jeopardizing their ongoing military career.

“As a reservist and vet, Swift has been really accommodating to my schedule,” Maria says. “Especially being on a dedicated account. I'm able to be home and focus on my military life as long as my civilian life.”

In 2024, Maria was featured in a USA Today article on How Two Veterans Transitioned to Trucking at Swift. Learn more about her story and why veterans, active-duty service members, and reservists can find a home at Swift.
