The Military Doesn’t Just Train Drivers. It Builds Citizens. Maybe That’s What We’re Missing.

The favorite argument from those supporting the ATA's teen trucker push is "if they can go to war at 18, they can drive a truck at 18." Military service transforms young people into disciplined, responsible adults who understand that their decisions affect others. That's why military-trained drivers have 42% fewer accidents. The solution isn't younger drivers; it's requiring the standards that make military drivers safer. We've lost something fundamental in how we raise our young people, and the highway data proves it.
