U.S. Department of Labor: Driver Employment, VETS Programs and Contact Guide

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) provides employment information, workforce-program resources and routes for workplace questions. Its Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) helps service members, veterans and military spouses prepare for civilian employment and understand employment-rights resources. This profile serves the directory’s DOL and veteran-career resource cards.

Resources relevant to truck drivers

Drivers can use DOL resources to find the appropriate office for a wage question, explore training and employment services, or locate military-to-civilian career support. DOL is a government department, not a motor carrier or a CDL school. Federal motor-carrier rules, state licensing and individual carrier hiring remain separate responsibilities.

VETS programs and services

  • Transition Assistance Program (TAP): Employment and career-transition information for service members moving into civilian work.
  • Employment Navigator and Partnership Program: One-on-one career assistance for transitioning service members and spouses at participating installations, in person or virtually.
  • Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG): Funding to state workforce agencies for eligible veteran career services and employer assistance.
  • Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program: Grants to organizations providing employment-focused support to veterans experiencing homelessness.
  • HIRE Vets Medallion: A federal award recognizing employers’ commitment to veteran hiring, retention and development.
  • Employment-rights assistance: USERRA information, compliance contacts and official claim-filing routes.

Program eligibility, location coverage and services differ. Ask the responsible office about the assistance available for your situation; a listing here does not establish entitlement to funding, enrollment or a trucking job.

Wage and Hour Division contact

For wage-related questions, contact the Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-487-9243 (1-866-4-USWAGE). Its official online inquiry form lists phone hours Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. local time. Use Contact WHD for online inquiries or the official division directory for a local office. Ask the division which rules apply to the specific work and employer rather than assuming one answer covers every driving position.

Choosing the correct contact route

  1. For career planning or military transition, begin with VETS program information and local workforce services.
  2. For a military-service employment-rights question, use VETS compliance assistance.
  3. For a formal claim, read the official filing instructions and use the designated claim process. A general email inquiry should not be assumed to file a claim.
  4. For wage questions, contact WHD; for an uncertain department or issue, ask the National Contact Center for referral.

Keep the relevant employer, dates, job offer, pay records and correspondence available for the responsible office. Send sensitive documents only through its designated process after checking what it needs.
