Why government funding?
Why does the government give out so much money to help fund CDL schooling for so many people? I know the government is just trying to get people jobs so that they can go to work, pay taxes and get off of welfare or whatever. Thats good, but I don't understand why I only ever hear about this and truck driving? Why not other trades as well, construction, welding, machining, etc.....
Why does it seem that the number one job the government is willing to provide training for is truck driving? Kevo

I'm pretty sure that if you look hard enough.... You can find that other occupations have retraining funds available. There are funds available to retrain people who have lost their jobs due to job loss that was not their fault.

more drivers less drivers pay....its a no brain-er... What I don't understand is why do trainers keep training new drivers and keep our wages low.
Were I work our trainers stopped training and our wages and respect is improving rapidly.

Kevo Trucking is not the only trade offered through WIA. A lot of people sign up for trucking because you can finish your training in a few weeks and start earning a paycheck, verses spending 6 months or more in school and not earning a paycheck while you are in other programs.
