Post 9/11 G.I. Bill + Company Sponsored Training

You would be better off going to a community college and getting your CDL. If you are over 35 the VA has the new VRAP program.

Here's a few I found in your area.

My GI Bill covered the entire cost of a private CDL school. I just had to make sure it was accredited. Good luck.

 

What State are you in?

 

Montana. The school I went through is called Sage Technical Services. They have campuses nationwide. If they don't have one in your area, I am sure there are other schools or colleges that accept the GI Bill.

 

The school I'm with the VA covers all the cost including the hotel because the school puts the price of the hotel in the tuition if you need to stay in it. Also make sure you check out the companies that participate in OJT so you can draw BAH for your first 12 months. Schneider, TMC, Stevens, Werner are the ones I know about there may be more.

 

Doesn't matter who you go with, just make sure they are accredited. Your best bet is to find a school, and ask for a VA rep at the school. They can work with you and tell you what things are covered with your benefits.

 

call recruiting dept and ask em.

 

Ive been with Werner since the begining, it was pretty awesome getting those checks once everything at the VA went through. 3 months it took, which is expected its the VA. i got my AA Degree and exhausted my GI Bill with the apprenticeship program. the VA Lady at Werner is very good, knows her stuff, returns calls in a timely matters. i would pick a company who offers this to maximize your allowable benefits under the post 9-11 gi bill. and since i exhausted my bennies. i get 18 months extra in the post 9-11 since that bill came into play years later. Werner is good, I see alot of #### talked about them, but you get what you put in. IT seem most of the cry babies are the 48'ers. i Run BB Dedicated out of Oh. Good money, good routes. home weekends. what more u want being a trucker?
