Virginia’s DMV is facilitating a unique relationship between the military and the transportation industry. While there is a shortage of commercially licensed drivers and fewer jobs for veterans, the DMV is making it easier for servicemen and women who have specialized driving experience to obtain their Commercial Drivers License when returning home.  As Virginia Public Radio’s Tommie McNeil reports, the program is part of a statewide effort to translate the skills learned in the military into the certifications needed for civilian jobs.
