Message:: [QUOTE="onewhodrives, post: 170600, member: 7586"]so here's my deal. i was in the military for 4 years as a ...thats right 88Mike...but i never set foot in a 5 ton or deuce and a half. i strictly stayed heavy. i drove the HET system which is a tractor m1070 and flatbed trailer m1000 hauling tanks.   anyways, did that for 4 years. drove in Kuwait which they had old school heavy trucks. and also i drove in Korea for two years. but that was four years ago. life happens and now im considering a trucking job. i know nothing about the industry right now. i live in minneapolis (plymouth) minnesota, and i guess i just dont know where to begin or how to find a good company. i suppose ill have to go to one of these schools and get my cdl, i never did that in the army but if you could give me some good leads, pointers, tips and good companies to check out that would most appreciated. i was also accident and incident free while in the army. i was an e4 in korea training my superiors on how to use this truck. so i considered myself a pretty good driver.[/QUOTE]
