Flagger Force has created access to employment that for many, would have previously been unavailable. Flagger Force partners with Referral Partners, such as community organizations, re-entry training programs, and parole and probation, to identify job-ready applicants to join our team.

Know this: A company-wide program, not a single branch, but the HQ (8170 Adams Drive, Hummelstown PA 17036) and five PA dispatch branches are local. The page shows 'POSITIONS AVAILABLE AS OF 09-29-2026'. These are not spam text, so the pages are not hacked.
