A lot of veterans doing trucking. At least on this forum. I did the Navy for 4.5 years as an Aviation Mechanic on P-3s I had a few jobs before then and I chilled out for a year. I took advantage of a grant for free tuition # Roadmasters and I'm now at Builders Transport.

In high school worked in fast food Hardees, KFC, and Krispy Kreme Dougnuts. Also worked as a waitress and helping my dad mow yards on my days off.
After highschool I have done:
Resturant manager
Vet Tech Assistant
Machine Operator
Furniture Sander
Plastic Mold Operator
Telemarketing
and for the last 8 years I have been a insurance agent my pay is decent but truck driving is something I have always wanted to do. My dad was a truck driver when I was young and I think it rubbed off on me he use to take me with him sometimes and I loved it. -

Been in the trucking industry for about 20yrs all on the dock and in the office. Got fired over a workman comp claim to make the story short. Was able to collect unemployment which qualified me for a program that paid for my CDL schooling. Leaving for orientation with ROEHL on sun-3/8/08. Looking forward to starting a better carrier in trucking as a driver instead of continuing as a dock worker. That's OD for your decision to get rid of me now it's time to make good money!!
