If you're thinking Pepsi, or Budweiser. Try thinking Sysco or other food distributor instead. A better job.

Put an application down at USPS. Your years of service is counted as previous employment and so does your driving experience in the military. If you served, let's say...10 years in the Military, you automatically get 10 years worth of Pension, Annual Leave, and accrued sick days. Military Vets get preference over civilian applicants at the Postal Service.
thedonald and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
To be honest, I was in a combat engineer unit and we didnt get much operating time. I did drive other large vehicles overseas but definitely not a semi. I'm also not sure if I would be 100% comfortable jumping right into it without at least some kind of refresher. -
Ok. You’re past your two year window for a waiver.

Also, I currently live where I border two states. If I go the school route it will not matter what state I attend the school in, correct?

Us3 your GI bill then you can choose what company you want to work for as opposed to being shackled to a company for a year.
At Pepsi or Budwiser, you are driving the truck, but also making the deliveries to stores and restaurants as well. It is hard work.
OTR drive anywhere and it is no tocuh freight, meaning aomeone else does the hard work.
Good luck in whatever you decide. If you have questions feel free to ask.thedonald Thanks this. -

It should NOT matter, however, some states are still not in compliance with the 2015 date of compliance.
The best way to go would be to call the school in the state you are NOT residing in, and ask if they have had issues with students from your state being issued a license. It’s possible they’ll test you in your home state anyway, and it’s a non-issue...make sure before starting school.thedonald Thanks this. -
I'm pretty confident I can pass the written portion of the test. What I'm confused with now is how the hell am I going to get a vehicle to actually take the road test on when that time comes?
