Veterans’ Transition to Trucking Act of 2025

The Veterans’ Transition to Trucking Act of 2025 lets the Department of Veterans Affairs directly approve apprenticeship programs that operate in more than one state, but only when those programs are run by commercial truck driving schools. This change is for the purpose of VA education benefits, so veterans can use their benefits more easily without waiting for separate approvals in each state. In short, VA can act like a state approving agency for these multi-state trucking apprenticeships, which could reduce red tape for veterans and schools across state lines .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Veterans using VA education benefits and commercial truck driving schools with programs in multiple states .
• What changes: VA may approve these multi-state trucking apprenticeships itself, instead of relying on separate state approvals.
• When: This would take effect if enacted into law.
