A Rock And Hard Place

Unfortunately, no. I don't have any remaining educational benefits. However, there is Voc Rehab services that I could work with. I think my concern with that is I'm really chomping at the bit to get started. Based on what I know of this program, it could take until January to be approved for funding...I really don't have that long to wait.

I have less than a year left on my Post 9/11 and plan on going to a school to earn my CDL and use my remaining Post 9/11 for OJT.

I'm a Vietnam era vet. My educational bennies were used up before you were born.

Swift's veterans program is their own thing. I had my DD214, I was "in".

Errol thank you for your Service, I was Army, Pleiku, 70/71,, used my VA education for Flight Training back in 79/81 to get my Commercial/Inst Pilots Lic.

Problem was I could'nt afford the cost of another 1000 hours of flight time to get a job flying, I stayed with my corporate job at Xerox. I would have liked Flying for a living, but it would have still turned into a Job. I ended working for Xerox for 35+ years,, After an early retirement (buy out age 53 bridge to 55) I did a couple of other careers and ended up in Trucking.

At least I got to get the Government to pay for my Flight training,,,, A little payback for Drafting me and sending me into a War Zone.

Check out drivers solution there's a link on her for them they may have a school in Pittsburgh if not really close to Pittsburgh that's who I went through

Celadon if no money out of pocket, but you'll have a contract to fulfill to not okay tuition for their training. The training tuition is 7500. I started at 27 cpm which would go up to 33cpm start my contract. The contract options are 240,000 miles as a team driver, or if pulling reefers is fine for you 120,000 miles. If you leave before fulfilling the mileage (Like I did) you'll owe the prorated balance left.

The only reason I left is because I got an opportunity at what I felt was to good to pass up at a local home daily job. I have nothing but good experiences from Celadon.

Committing to a company for a year (or whatever the mileage will be going solo; usually 120,000) is not a problem.

I'm pretty much YOURS Celadon...just...waiting for that call. ... ...
