00:00.780 --> 00:03.820
- The first week or week
and a half of the program is

00:03.820 --> 00:07.140
classroom portion and
that's basically learning

00:07.140 --> 00:11.880
the basic rules of the
tractor-trailer itself combination

00:11.880 --> 00:15.640
and as far as the weights traveling,

00:15.640 --> 00:18.520
what to expect when you are out traveling,

00:18.520 --> 00:21.430
some of the different technology
that you will encounter

00:21.430 --> 00:24.710
while actually on the job,
and different types of jobs

00:24.710 --> 00:26.820
that you can do as a truck driver.

00:26.820 --> 00:29.790
The last week to two weeks is
where you actually will go out

00:29.790 --> 00:34.370
and then drive, so you'll go
through the driving portion

00:34.370 --> 00:37.550
where you get actually
licensed and tested out

00:37.550 --> 00:39.220
while in the school.

00:39.220 --> 00:41.690
So, there's no need to go anywhere else

00:41.690 --> 00:43.640
or do anything besides going to the DMV

00:43.640 --> 00:45.190
to actually get your license.

00:45.190 --> 00:47.400
There is no out-of-pocket cost

00:47.400 --> 00:49.920
for doing the Troops into
Transportation program,

00:49.920 --> 00:52.410
and a lot of the companies that you go

00:52.410 --> 00:55.400
to will actually reimburse you.

00:55.400 --> 00:57.700
You could be hired even
before you graduate

00:57.700 --> 01:01.060
from the course, which
means it's perfect for me.

01:01.060 --> 01:04.310
I needed to make sure I
had something lined up

01:04.310 --> 01:08.090
and ready for me as I
was gonna go into leave

01:08.090 --> 01:11.720
and actually transition out,
cause I still had regular bills

01:11.720 --> 01:12.793
that I needed to pay.
