Is it possible to go to school as a 22.4 Driver?

[UnionGuy]

I was finally offered a 22.4 driving position yesterday and I start training tomorrow. My concern now is whether I can continue school to obtain my bachelors. I don't want to give up the opportunity since I got the hub that I wanted, but I also still want to finish school. I am torn on this.
Does anyone here attend school while also driving?

I know drivers that did it while driving full time. Though it ain't easy at all and all classes were online.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be easy. I think I am going to self DQ myself. Remain a PTer

You could always lower the amount of classes you take and do it over time. I'm next to a guy who's doing a class or two a semester to get through it.

You will find it very hard to get approved for tuition reimbursement as a full time employee

I know a feeder driver that didn't have any problem.

To discriminate based on a person's employment status doesn't sound like a good idea.

The person takes a class.
The person either passes the class or he doesn't.
I'm reasonably sure reimbursement is based on a final, passing grade.

Hope this helps.

I don't think his area give tuition reimbursement to union members only management

Possibly....
All I know is at my hub a FT'er could get it.

Some locations may not offer it to FT union employees.

If you can give yourself a better career and better balance between work/life then I think your making the right decision. Driving provides a great way to support your family and phenomenal benefits, but it isn’t the only path to do so.
Goodluck

you can only go to school online as a full time driver. I’ve tried it. If you wanna try go ahead but you will absolutely be late for classes and exams. Your sup cares not about your education. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
