Thats why you don't put your face in front of it. I won't say never, but it would difficult for me to get hit with my load bar because I position myself outside the bars arc.

I just earned my CDL FINALLY!!!!! I faxed my application over to TMC, got a call and was told to fax them my DD214, faxed that and got a confirmed call that they picked it up and I think the first call was from one guy and the second was from guss, guss sounds cool the first guy i think was just a "yep/nope recruiter vocabulary" type of guy I hate it when people can't say yea or yes, in a postive, proper and polite manner, not yep or nope cause it doesn't sound structured or professional or respectful to the least. TMC has a veterans program where vets can use their GI bill for OJT..rather than, i'm assuming, going through 2 weeks of orientation and being sent home and 5 weeks of driving with a trainer..so...I'm thinking of looking into this, does anyone have an idea of what this service TMC provides is like? I'm assuming their OJT sounds longer than 2 weeks of weeding out and 5 weeks of driving lol I hope it's not like 4 years or anything LOL OJT can't be no more than 6 months imo I mean it can't be that complex to know a job like trucking..share some info please

The Post 9/11 GI Bill and Montgomery GI Bill Apprenticeship program is not an OJT program, at least in the sense that you're used to from the military. It is an apprenticeship program like the traditional trades where you are expected to meet certain goals in a certain time frame. In most trades, you'd be required to attain a level of competence at a certain time point. In trucking that doesn't really apply, as the required level of competence will likely come long before your apprenticeship is considered completed.
TMC's VA approved apprenticeship program is 18 months. This doesn't mean a thing with regard to how TMC pays, treats, or assigns you, but rather how the VA pays your benefit to you.
If you have earned the maximum benefit (in other words, having served at least 3 years on active duty), you will be paid $1104.75 a month for the first six months of training, $810.15 for the second six months of training and $515.55 for remaining training. Additionally, you may qualify for BAH paid at the E-5 rate for Des Moines, IA which is currently $1230 per month, with corresponding drops in rate at the 6 and 12 month mark.
To be clear, the apprenticeship program doesn't change your day to day working life as a truck driver at all. It's just that you have earned a big fat tax-free check for the first 18 months while you learn a new trade, in addition to earning your regular paycheck from TMC.
Hope that helps. -
