getting out of the army

Good to hear... I pray more companies do this.

 

QC does have some new trucks with automatics . I don't think they have any at Calvert City but the affiliate owner did say he'd consider buying one if he hired a driver under the military program .

 

Forgot about Maverick! They don't hire in my area. Agreed, another good one!

 

why not try to go ptad and use tuition assistance to get your truck schooling done?

That is what I did, like two months before I left the marines, my CO approved my PTAD and tuition assistance request to go to a Truck Driving School. that way i didnt have to use my GI bill.

 

Good choice, tankers. That's where the money is. There's a dry bulk tanker company in Hopkinsville (Bulkmatic)but don't know if they are hiring, just walk in and ask face to face is better than a phone call.
The best money will be with tanker and flatbed next. You can make over $60K per year doing hazmat/tanker. And, yes, a new driver can get those jobs.
