MOU status: DoD MOU current through April 7, 2028.

What these labels mean
MOU active
An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon
The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired
The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated
The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing
The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing
Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing
Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

Summary

Legion1 Logistics is proud to offer a DoD SkillBridge training program specifically designed for transitioning Army Heavy Equipment Operators (88M) with military driver training and experience seeking a career in specialized heavy-haul trucking. In partnership with Hill College (Hillsboro, TX), this program bridges military heavy-equipment transport experience directly into a civilian Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A) and a career hauling oversized and over-dimensional (OS/OD) freight. Program participants receive hands-on CDL training and mentorship from experienced heavy-haul professionals, along with a direct pathway to full-time employment with leading heavy-haul carriers upon separation — allowing veterans to translate the skills, discipline, and safety standards built in uniform into the highest-paid segment of the civilian trucking industry.

Eligibility

Candidates must meet one of the following experience pathways: Active Duty / Transitioning Service Members: MOS 88M (Motor Transport Operator) with Heavy Equipment Operator AIT training and documented military heavy-equipment/HET driving experience, or National Guard / Army Reserve Candidates: Current civilian CDL-A licensure with verifiable driving experience in lieu of active-duty 88M/HET background All candidates must meet standard DoD SkillBridge eligibility requirements (within 180 days of separation, command approval, etc.) and pass Legion1 Logistics' DOT/FMCSA pre-employment screening, including background check, MVR review, and drug/alcohol testing.

What the work involves

As an over-the-road, Heavy Haul/OS/OD Driver, you will operate specialized trailers (lowboys, RGNs, Wind specific tower and blade trailers, and multi-axle configurations) to safely transport oversized and overweight loads — including wind turbine components, data center components, industrial equipment, and other specialized cargo — across state and federal highways. Responsibilities include: • Safely operating tractor-trailer combinations hauling OS/OD loads in compliance with FMCSA and state DOT regulations • Planning and executing permitted routes, including pilot car coordination and escort requirements • Conducting pre-trip and post-trip vehicle/load inspections • Securing and staging specialized cargo per load-specific requirements • Maintaining accurate logs, permits, and delivery documentation • Communicating with dispatch, customers, and site personnel throughout transport • Upholding a strong safety culture consistent with military driving discipline This program offers a pathway into the highest paying segment of the US trucking industry, travel opportunities, and a direct career path into the growing heavy-haul logistics sector supporting energy, infrastructure, and industrial markets.
