Kerry Williams of Roanoke, Ala., took advantage of a special program called “Hiring our Heroes” which enables veterans of the United States and Canadian military to receive a discount of $3,500 on qualifying vehicle purchases at SelecTrucks Centers across North America. Eligibility for the program runs throughout 2017.
Williams served in the National Guard where he spent 12 months in Iraq driving in our nation’s military convoy. After his one year stint in Iraq, he left the National Guard and returned to Iraq as a civilian contractor hauling freight once again in military convoys. He has always had his heart in trucking and after he left Iraq, he went to North Africa to drive for another military contractor.
Recently, Williams returned to the United States with the continued ambition of driving a tractor trailer and becoming the proud owner of his own vehicle. That’s when he met with representatives of SelecTrucks of Atlanta. Sales representative Lyn Owens helped Williams through the process of purchasing a tractor. After evaluating many trucks in the dealer’s inventory, Owens informed Williams that SelecTrucks now has a special program for military veterans called Proud to Serve, which provides a special discount for military veterans.
Williams ended up finding the perfect truck for him, a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia.
