Drivers

  • Recent graduates from Truck Driving School
  • Experienced drivers with limited driving experience

    • Drivers must be an employee of Werner Enterprises to participate in the Apprenticeship program and receive VA Educational Benefits.


    How the VA Educational Benefit Money Works:

  • Paid from the Dept. of Veteran Affairs directly to the driver.
  • Once employed at Werner, it takes the VA roughly 90 days to determine eligibility and issue a check.
  • Paid monthly in arrears, based on a 30 day month.
  • If only part of a month is worked, benefits are pro-rated.
  • The first check will more than likely be retroactive, therefore a larger amount.
  • Pay depends on the category a person fits in, but is all TAX FREE.

    • Questions Regarding Eligibility?

    1-888-GI-BILL-1 (888-442-4551)
