The FreeWorld Program helps people with criminal histories build successful careers in trucking. We guide you through earning your CDL-A permit and help you create a plan to attend trucking school. In select areas, we may cover training costs through grants or WIOA funding. After graduation, we continue to support you in finding higher-paying jobs for up to five years.
