Also, you may have heard about its headline-making tiny homes, but there’s so much more going on at Veterans Community Project’s campuses nationwide. We’ll talk with the executive director of the Kansas City campus. And last week marked the lowest load volume for week 45 in the past seven years. We spoke with DAT Freight and Analytics to get the latest details and find out more about this dip in the market.

A look at Veterans Community Project
Our annual Truckers For Troops campaign continues on through a second week. The Veterans Community Project is one of the beneficiaries. You may have heard about its headline-making tiny homes, but there’s so much more going on at its campuses nationwide. Chris Admire, executive director of the Kansas City campus, tells us how the Veterans Community Project got started, what exactly it does and why it’s so much more than just a temporary home for our nation’s heroes.
