LockLeed Logistics

LockLeed International continues to build on our family of companies dedicated to helping military service members and Veterans in their search for career success.

James Walker, a US Army veteran, leads our Logistics team focused on placing veteran/military professionals in a variety of industries including supply chain, logistics, transportation, freight, manufacturing, distribution and technology.

We recognize that the military/veteran community has an expansive network in the supply chain, transportation and logistics industries. Clients and the veterans we serve drove us to add this recruitment resource. We’re relaunching it this month, with a renewed focus, building on our momentum over the past two years.

This division augments our 360° strategy with three operating companies (LockLeed International, LockLeed Logistics and Talent Force) under the umbrella of Gemini Workforce Solutions. It serves to renew the foundation of our targeted approach to provide companies with the best candidates and fill their roles with veterans who have the skills to succeed.

An additional benefit for companies: We provide the opportunity for you to market your company as a veteran-forward organization. For example, a company can assert, “We allocate XX% of our budget to hiring veterans!” This is a differentiator in the talent recruitment and retention process and highlights your desire to provide meaningful employment opportunities to those who have served our country.

Jim was a supply specialist and made three deployments over 10 years. His civilian background includes 18 years in the freight forwarding industry with roles including Vice President of National Operations and is a great resource to provide veterans who are qualified to fill your supply chain roles.

LockLeed Logistics serves clients in the areas of

  • Third-Party Logistics
  • Asset-based Trucking and Warehousing
  • Freight Forwarding
  • Import/Export
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Logistics Technology
  • Freight Audit, Finance and Insurance
  • Paratransit
  • Drivers

There’s not much that veterans get when they leave the military (it makes no sense), so this is a way for me to give back to them and also build on the success of LockLeed.

Veteran Resources

Stay connected. Know what’s out there.

We served too. We know how hard it can be to know where to turn. There are incredible resources available to Veterans, transitioning service members and military families. The challenge is knowing where to find them. That is why we keep building LockLeed’s Veteran Resources, to make it easier for our community to find the support, information, people and opportunities they have earned.

More than just jobs

  • VA Benefits & Claims. Filing, appeals and the people who help you do it.
  • Healthcare & Support. Veteran healthcare and the organizations behind it.
  • Financial & Housing. Assistance programs when the gap needs bridging.
  • Legal & Community. Legal help and the community groups that show up.
  • Transition & Career. Support for the move from service to civilian work.
  • Veteran Hiring. Employers who want what your service built.
  • Events, Local & National. Resource fairs, claims clinics, hiring events.

Don’t miss something that could help.

lockleed.com/events: Resource fairs, claims clinics, community events, transition programs and hiring opportunities, in one place. Sign up for Event Updates and we will send the new ones your way.

And please share it with another Veteran. Because sometimes the resource you don’t need today is exactly what one of your brothers or sisters needs tomorrow.

We served too. Now we get to keep serving each other.
