CDL-Scholarship For Military Veterans-Transforce
Topic 32036 | Page 1
Is it Trans Force or TransAmerica?
I know TransAmerica is a beginning company. Not sure on TransForce, they could be but I thought they were a company that required some experience first. Someone will be a long to answer your question

Hello all, just checking to see if any members has gone thru this program.
I am on my first steps of researching options for private driving schools and also scholarship/grants and this program is one of the options that I was looking at.
Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

You're good, gal. I know who ya mean, too.. haha!! Main way I know TFI, is that Tom put in a good long spell with Transport America, who's where the T comes from in CFI; the acquisition. (Plus, Big Scott keeps us in the loop, with CFI.) They were a great company to drive for when he was there. Very military appreciative company.
Stay safe, m'lady!

That is not a correct statement Big Scott. Do you really throw up the CFI site every time you get an opportunity? Lol
T force and transforce are 2 different entities. Transforce is more of a staffing agency. You work for transforce but they put you on other accounts.
They own what was formerly the cdl school of Miami and that includes the troops into transportation program which I work for. Which is held around military bases across the country.
To the original poster I don’t know what the terms of the agreement are but it is a good school . And I have had a few students come through that were given grants.
