Maximize Your Military Benefits for CDL Training

Veteran Financial Assistance for CDL Training

At True Safety, we are proud to support active-duty service members, reservists, veterans, and their families by offering financial assistance options for high-quality CDL training. Our goal is to help those who have served transition into successful careers in the transportation industry.

Through our Veterans CDL Training Program, we provide tailored support to help military personnel leverage their skills and experience to obtain a CDL license. In addition to top-tier training, we assist in connecting veterans with employers who actively seek military-trained drivers. Many of these positions offer competitive salaries, full benefits, and clear paths for career advancement, making it an excellent option for those transitioning to civilian life.

VA Education Benefits for Veterans

Veterans and their eligible family members may qualify for a variety of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits to help cover the cost of CDL training:

Chapter 30 – Montgomery GI Bill® (MGIB)

This program provides education benefits to veterans and service members with at least two years of active duty. Eligible individuals can receive up to 36 months of benefits, depending on service duration and program eligibility.

Chapter 31 – Veteran Readiness and Employment Benefit (VR&E)

If you are a veteran with a VA disability rating and an employment handicap, this program may provide career counseling, education, training, and job placement assistance.

Chapter 33 – Post-9/11 GI Bill®

For veterans with at least 90 days of active duty service after September 10, 2001, or those who were honorably discharged (or discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days), this program offers up to 36 months of education benefits.

Chapter 35 – Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance Program (DEA)

This program provides education and training support for dependents of veterans who are permanently and totally disabled due to a service-related condition or who passed away due to a service-related condition.

Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program

Many of the carriers we work with participate in the U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program, which allows veterans to continue using VA education benefits while gaining hands-on experience after graduation.

Veteran Tuition Reimbursement Program

Some trucking companies offer tuition reimbursement for veterans who have used VA benefits to pay for CDL training. This program may cover up to $7,500 of training costs, helping reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
