What is the Military Apprenticeship Program?
Paper Transport has partnered with the Veterans Administration as part of the Post 9/11 GI Bill® Apprenticeship Program. This will allow new drivers to receive tax-free housing benefits from the V.A in addition to earning a weekly paycheck from PTI.
Once you have completed your CDL schooling, you will then join our three-week Accelerate Training Program. Following completion of the Accelerate Program, PTI continues to provide you with the tools and support to reach your full potential.
