In most states you need to show that you drove a truck in the military, MOS or a letter from a CO.

It’s That simple. Your company commander has too sign off.

so i tried this last week in the state of georgia, had my co sign the waiver before i got out. I brought all the proper documents and they would not accept my waiver because i do not have the license. I had 14 pages of 348's, but no of346. the lady had no clue what it was at first and had to call another dmv to ask, i showed them the reg on it where it states military drivers license (if applicable). obviously if you don't have it on person, its not applicable. she got all mad when i said this. i ended up saying forget about it because it would have only gotten me a class b since i drove lmcv's and i need a class a. as far as the troops into transportation program, NOT A FAN. they "partner" with these mega carriers and advertise "make 55k in your first year" yeah, thats before taxes and after the gi bill gets factored into it. do not let them fool you with this. thats your gi bill, last company i tried working with when i questioned the 32cpm they straight up said well we give you your gi benefits so it makes up for it. I walked away from them right after that was said. pathetic. thats your gi bill, don't let them fool you into thinking that they "are giving it to you". you earned it and it is your right as a veteran, i don't care what anyone says.
just remember, they need you more than you need them. Plus you being a veteran, they get a tax break an such by hiring you so don't let them low ball you on starting wages. any sign of coercion or dishonesty, probably want to walk away from them. good luckbottomdumpin Thanks this. -
