CDL-A Driver GI Bill Program:

If you are eligible for GI Bill benefits, you can earn up to $1,140 per month tax free, using your available Post 9/11 GI Bill funds, PLUS your weekly Averitt paycheck, PLUS up to $4,800 tuition/transition bonus from Averitt (paid weekly)!

We ARE NOT a truck driving school, you must have your CDL-A to join our team.

GI Bill Training Program Requirements:

Must have valid CDL-A and graduated from one of our approved truck driving schools in the past 180 days OR have any tractor trailer experience in the past 10 years (recruiter will review eligibility; military driving experience considered)

Must have previously served in the U.S. military or have a family member with Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits available. To check to see if you have available benefits, please call the V.A. at 888-442-4551. It could take the V.A. approximately 90 days to determine eligibility.

If you qualify for the Post 9/11 GI benefits, you are eligible to get up to 12 monthly payments from the V.A. while you receive on-the-job training.

You will receive 6 weeks of behind-the-wheel training at $800 per week. During the remaining 46 weeks, you will work with a mentor and leadership for follow-up training and communication.

Eligible Veterans will complete all required paperwork during orientation. Benefit checks are paid directly from the Department of Veteran Affairs - not Averitt - usually 4-6 weeks after training begins.
