They charge the VA market rates for CDL/Truck Drivers School. I started with them, one of the questions they asked was if I was a veteran, and when I said yes the recruiter asked me if I wanted to use my education benefits to cover training.

This made no sense since they trained for free as long as you drove for them no less then 6 months after training.

Once I started, I spoke to several vets, and some of them used part of their ed bennies to pay England for what they would have gotten for free anyway.

Support Our Troops, my ass.
