I have seen a lot of people looking for company paid training. I just recieved a grant from the workforce investment act through the state of nebraska. It is a government grant for unemployed or underemployed individuals. I went on the nebraska unemployment website http://www.dol.nebraska.gov/ and did a little homework. Discoverecd it is for all states. Here is a link to the US Dol. .http://www.doleta.gov/usworkforce/wia/act.cfm It took me 2 weeks to get funded and I have up to 30 months to utilize the grant. Hope this helps. Ron

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

I've been unemployed for a couple of years and didn't apply for unemployment insurance. But with my circumstances coming to a close it was time to start looking for a job. Discovered the WIA program on the state website. Figured I would at least put it to good use. Or i could sit around and be a professional welfare recipient. Sorry, shouldn't go there. Ron

Ron, I too have applied for the WIA program a little over a week ago. I talked to my agent and he told me it could take up to 6 months to get it, if I get it. I am hoping I can because I would like to go to school before I start my career but I don't want to wait 6 months. Hope it works out for me as it did for you. Im in West Virginia. not sure if that matters. Any way congrats. Doc
