Field Rep for Boeing?

If you get that, forget trucking. You can sleep at night, not risk your life on the road (this is the most dangerous job around) and you get perks with Boeing.

 

Upon exiting the USAF, was offered two positions.
One with general dynamics the other was McDonnell Douglas. The problem with both was, a young single buck having to spend 5 years in an overseas assignment in a place not well suited for a young single buck.

One of the few things that in hind sight, should have done. So if you think you have any kind of shot at the Boeing job, take it. Don’t know til you try.

As to TMC, good starter company. Will provide good general flatbed securement training. For running your own truck, you can find better options.
