    Why not a better company? Where do you live and how much experience do you have?

    Smooth bore tank is knowhere for a newbie, especially starting in the winter. Sounds like they are hard up for tank drivers.

    Doesn't really matter what you go in as , after you try whatever division you enter in if you don't like it it's my understanding that you have the option of switching.

    All you really have to do is talk to the division manager of the side you want into, and let him know that you want to switch. Get it set up, then let your fleet manager know its a done deal.
