MOU status: DoD MOU current through June 1, 2027.

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.

About Smith Trucking Company Inc.

Smith Trucking Company is a family-owned site development firm that began in Jacksonville, Florida in the 1960s. The company operates across 11 program locations in Florida and virtually, with remote delivery also available. Its core work covers dump truck services, large-volume dirt sales and hauling, land clearing, mass clearing and grading, earthwork, and material sales including sand, gravel, stone, fill, and topsoil. The company uses GPS-equipped heavy equipment and drone-based surveying and jobsite monitoring in its field operations.

SkillBridge participants at Smith Trucking can train across several distinct tracks depending on their background and goals. Options include Construction Estimator, where trainees learn earthwork quantity takeoffs using AGTEK Gradework software; Construction Surveyor, a field-based role focused on layout, control, and measurement for earthwork and site development; Heavy Equipment Operator, a hands-on program building entry-level operating skills; Cost and Productivity Analyst, which develops skills in enterprise cost modeling and margin analysis tied to EBITDA improvement; and Applied AI and Software Systems Manager, which prepares participants to oversee the design and deployment of AI and software systems in a business environment. Program lengths range from under 30 days to 180 days depending on the track selected.

Each program is structured around practical, on-the-job exposure rather than classroom theory alone. Participants work with real datasets, equipment, and operational constraints, and are evaluated against defined company standards before completing their training.
