    Hey everyone, my name is Harry, I am from Bakersfield, CA. I am married, have 3 daughters, 3 grandsons and another one on the way. I am currently half way through school, I was a truck driver (88M) in the Army Reserves and deployed to Iraq 2 times as a truck driver. I take my behind the wheel test on Jan 19,2016, I feel pretty confident that I will pass. I have one job offer with Schneider, but have talked with some others.

    See you guys on the road!!!
     
    Straight Stacks and mountaingote Thank this.

    Most companies only give Military credit if i had only gotten out in less than 1w months, I have been out since 2006. I just started using my Post 9/11 GI Bill, I will be taking advantage of the apprenticeship program.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.
