Do I Qualify for a Workforce Pell Grant? The Department of Education proposes "Workforce Pell Grants" for high-quality programs lasting 8–14 weeks, helping students fund CDL and diesel mechanic certifications.

We LIKE this πŸ‘‡πŸΌ it requires retention metrics & other heightened requirements. It's not perfect but it is a start.

There are too many "CDL Mills" who thrive on federal dollars with no retention metrics, this is a highway safety issue.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

The trucking industry, especially other women's trucking associations get a F- for using the wrong image and AI generated images of women truck drivers of history and simply making stuff up about them. Our tagline is #KnowTheDifference for a reason. #womenshistorymonth #trucking #truckdrivers
