USAT’s Tuition Reimbursement Program: Paying For School Has Never Been Easier

Post Date - Feb 2, 2021

When it comes to changing careers or learning a new skill set, one of the barriers can be the financial cost. At USA Truck, we believe that cost shouldn’t prohibit you from achieving your dream of becoming a professional truck driver. Our tuition reimbursement program is one of the many benefits we offer USAT drivers. It provides student drivers who have completed a 160-hour Class A CDL school program with up to a $5,000 reimbursement for out-of-pocket school expenses.

Here’s everything you need to know about our tuition reimbursement program:

• We’ll pay a maximum tuition reimbursement of $5,000. This is to reimburse you for amounts you’ve already paid or are due in the future.
• You’ll need to submit receipts for amount paid or invoice showing remaining balance, as well as a copy of the contract from the school or financial institution. These must be included with your tuition reimbursement application to our payroll department.
• This application can be submitted upon hire but must be submitted within 12 months of completing your 160-hour course.
• The reimbursement is paid at $25 per week directly to the student. We do not reimburse your school or financial institution.
• Drivers must be actively employed by USAT. If you take a leave of absence, your reimbursements will resume once you return to work.
• Reimbursements cannot be paid to another carrier. We will also not reimburse funds already paid by grants or an unemployment program.
• Tuition reimbursements will begin the first month after you start employment and added to your last check of the month.
