Many of our customers are eligible for tuition assistance from various government programs including the DISLOCATED WORKER PROGRAM. 

If you are unemployed and receiving unemployment benefits chances are you are eligible for some sort of training assistance.  We work closely with the Minnesota Workforce Centers to help students get the training they need.  There are other agencies that provide help to people that are under-employed.  Please visit our office for more information on what programs are available and where to go to apply.

If you took our Professional Tractor Trailer Program for $3,995.00 and put it on a credit card at 12% interest you would have it paid off in 33 months with the help of the companies that reimburse you $150.00 per month. We are not an agent for any of these companies and provide this information as a service to our customers with no guarantee whatsoever as to the accuracy of the current company programs. Contact the individual company for up to date details.

If you can’t find the money right now to pay for training then perhaps you should start out with a Class B license since it is less expensive to obtain and the requirements for Class B drivers is somewhat less demanding than it is for Class A drivers.  You can make about $700.00 to $750.00 per week with a Class B license and save up for Class A training. We are always willing to sit down and discuss options with our customers so it would be worth your time to visit our office and talk with Harold, Joel, or Bill.

If you are a Veteran returning from duty we have a great program to offer you!!!  Vets are eligible for assistance up to 10 years after active duty.  The amount of assistance varies depending on branch of service and years of active duty.  It is all very complicated but we have all the information in our office so we invite you to visit so we can explain the benefits clearly. It’s good to know that Uncle Sam provides some decent benefits for our returning service men and women.
