    Does anyone know any companies that pay for tuition and also works with the VA so veterans can get their GI Benefits as well? I know TMC is one as is Werner...

    Thanks..

    So those companies work with the VA as well for the GI Bill benefits?

    Yep, Schneider is very military friendly, and I meant Conway Truckload and not the Freight division. I'm sure there are a few more.

    But if you check out gijobs.com,the have a list of the top 100 military employers and the pumpkin makes the cut every year

    And I dont know what your plans are, if you plan on going to school afterwards, but I would use the GI Bill for school, instead of trying to make a few extra bucks off it. And I think its only for a year or so.

    Thanks for the information!!

    I am working in Afghanistan as a civilian trainer and plan on going home in March or so and go to driving school from there.. I have been looking at the Pumpkin because they work out of Indianapolis where I live at and the pay and routes look good. Plus the training on the road isn't several weeks like others I have been looking at..

    If you're entitled to VA VOCREHAB, they will also pay certified schools. If your BI Bill is a chapter 32, I believe they will pay a max of $2000, BUT reimbursed only.
