I am currently in school and trying to get all of my options together for when I get my cdl. A Werner recruiter came to my school and told me about how I can use my post 911 gi bill in their veteran apprenticeship program. I also know that schneider offers the same. I am looking into doing regional work (northeast-nj) with a company that offers veteran apprenticeship program understanding the pay may not be the greatest but I will get monthly checks from the va or looking for a local p&d or line haul for better pay. I plan on getting tanker hazmat dbls/trpls. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

New Penn hires drivers with "one yr. experience OR new cdl school grad."
Don't know if they have Veteran Apprenticeship Program.
-
Schneider has lots of local/regional work in your area and also has Veteran Apprenticeship Program..
Schneider also reimburses cdl school tuition up to $7000 back to you.
Schneider has intermodal, tankers, dry van, and some dedicated refrigerated with companies such as Walmart.

Thanks for the info. Those are actually the two companies that I've been looking at. Schneider more because of tuition reimbursement and apprenticeship program and tanker training.
