Why hire individuals impacted by incarceration?

Extensive research shows that individuals with records are more loyal to their employers and have a lower turnover rate. Most of our divers are looking to go regional and over the road (OTR). Start tapping into our network and keep your trucks moving for even the most challenging jobs.

Emerge Career graduate will be eligible for a Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which translates to a per-person tax break of $6,000.

word for it.
