The Vet scholarship program is basically you apply with your DD-214 showing Honorable or Under Honorable conditions and they pay for the driving but not the housing. I have a feeling they use that as a tax break more than anything, because once you hit the road, you're making them money. So they can say the "invested" X amount in retraining a veteran so give us X amount of a tax break. Only benefit I can see is the spouse/dependent scholarship transfer. So if you're already a driver, and maybe want to team with your wife/husband, they could get trained that way.
Swift Transportation Veteran's Scholarships being offered.

BTW, I think if you are a Veteran and qualify under the new G.I. Bill, or similar, they have other options. As it is, you do not get paid any wages until after the 'academy' and you actually get in a truck (first one with a mentor). However, if you go under the new G.I. Bill, I think they pay you during training and there are probably additional benefits. I was not under the new G.I. Bill and what pathetic meager benefits I got have long since been used. The worst G.I. Bill type program since WWII was called VEAP and that is what I fell under.

I was kind of confused so not sure I understood it correctly but it was something like they take out $80 but reimburse you $40 every week. And, she said something about if You make the payments and stay with Swift for a year, at the end of a year you will still owe about $1500 and they forgive that remaining balance. And, they continue to reimburse you $40 a week until you've been paid back what you paid, which would take you till end of year 2. So, if you stay with them for 2 years, in effect, your training was free. However, I am really unsure I heard it all correctly, so do not count on what I just described as accurate, but it is something like that. YMMV I guess. Since I am a Veteran, I do not have to put up any up-front expenses or reimburse anything afterwards as long as I stay with them for 1 year. (You do have to have food and living expenses during training, just like everyone else.)Click to expand...Six9GS said: ↑When I was talking to my Swift recruiter a few minutes ago she said it was either $40 or $80 per week.

while some people when they young and dumb age we did stupid stuff eventually the smarter ones grew out of it. Became adults and decided to do something with our lives others stayed back in time you look these people they have gov stamp they don't work they want everything handed to them for nothing. without the care and world, these are something a kid would do. But these ain't kids anymore I know a lot people soldiers even people from other countries they value that dream to become something better. The one that comes over work help the country taxes I have no problems with them coming over at all the ones who come over with nothing want everything handed to them like these pot heads I see nothing but a dam cancer to the American society. I know of buddies who lost their legs, arms overseas to war for the country they willing to die for come back and have PTSD and still want to work contribute to society.
When I see these lazy arse people on street nothing wrong with them no mental issues, physical they there make money saying they out on there luck. There is no luck you either grab life by the horns or you fall and stay there. Sometimes you can fall and get back up soldiers do this every day these people will also have brothers, sisters who will also help them get back up all they gotta do ask. I know this is a touchy subject but I will speak my mind and make no apology to anyone but my g/f period. -
