Anybody driven for AAFES (the military Walmart)

So once again I’m about to retire from the army and my wife who works for AAFES as a retail manager informed me that they have their own trucks and regional distribution centers. One being a hour from the house. So I see the potential for a lot of home time especially if I’m delivering to Fort Hood which is where I’m stationed now. Any feed back from a driver standpoint would be very appreciated.

 

Yea i seen something like that in the wording, however it says 2 years experience driving tractor trailer vehicles over 80,000 LBS. I would assume my military driving experience counts even though its all tactical tractor trailers. So i applied. The posting says they pay hourly so that could be a good thing. unless they stick people on a short designated route like fort hood to waco.

 

Yea its possible they wont count it, i will be truly dumbfounded if they dont it is a military owned company and they make alot of concessions for people coming over from the military.

 

Well that worked almost too good, I dropped a application thinking they would maybe call me in a month and I would get it set up to do a interview and wait for background checks and all that. Hoping I could line it up to start when I sign out in leave. Well they called me and offered me a position with out a interview today and I had to decline because I’m still in the #### army.
