Retired Military

By chance are you at Fort Wainwright??

 

Your options are pretty much the same as someone who has not retired from the Military, or even been in the Military.

 

Are there any retired military not driving truck?
Seems like every driver I meet used to be in the military
I can hear the Marine recruiter now
You'll do 4 tours of duty in a place where everyone hates you and tries to kill you.
You can Skype with your wife and kids for an hour on Sunday
And when that's all over, you can drive a truck and talk all day to the ghosts in your head and still Skype your wife on Sunday.

 

Might need to start with System Transport (Cheney,WA), Combined Transport (Central Point OR), Central Oregon Trucking (Redmond,OR) and get experience in and than look at Hunt Transport (Omaha,NE)

 

My son is in basic at Fort Benning and is headed to Fort Wainwright after he's done. Any advice for him would be appreciated

 

Havs you looked into crete carrier

 

You talk to your ghosts, I will talk to mine.

 

I'm looking into trucking. 20 years in Tha' Marines, four years of college. (Business Administration ~ Finance.

Had to BEG five days a week x 4 weeks to get a freaking job paying $8 an hour with a Temp agency at a automotive parts manufacturing plant.

Got hired on full time, moved up to QC inspector, then Team Leader. Put in for supervisor positions.

Was told I'm too educated, too SMART, too intelligent, too experienced. WTH!

I'll NEVER move up. 60 years old. Not interested in retirement ~ retiring.
