Hi Douglas, The VA has a web-page where service members and veterans can look for approved programs and schools within specific states and countries. You or the soldier you are helping should look under the Ohio heading and see what schools might have the program you are looking for and be fairly close to Cambridge.
One thing I will mention before you get too far into it is that a lot is going to depend on the GI Bill the soldier is eligible for. If they plan on using the Post 9/11 GI Bill, then they are going to have to find a truck driving school that is affiliated with a degree awarding institute of higher learning. The Post 9/11 GI Bill is designed to be used to earn a college degree and because of that it is only approved for use at a school that has the capability to award at least an associate’s degree.
I have had veterans with the same concern who were looking for flight schools or police academies to use their Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to attend. As long as the program is associated with a degree awarding school there is a chance the Post 9/11 GI Bill will be approved for use with the program.
If your soldier is eligible for the Montgomery GI Bill, then it might be a little easier to find an approved program closer to Cambridge, Ohio. The benefits of the Montgomery GI Bill can be applied to a broader range of educational programs.
