Entering the military WITH a cdl

You went to driving school that's why. I wouldn't doubt at all that your military experience helped you actually getting hired but without the school you they most likely wouldn't of looked at you.

 

No they wont. Seeing as I had one and experience prior to my 4 years and was told I HAD to take a refresher course of some sort even though I had my CDL and had experience. Yeah it helps being in the Military but thats not why you got the job. If you would not of gone to the school they would of told you that you have to before they would look at you.

 

I am not offended by the thread just upset with the false information you were givin by another driver that I guess serves in the military. Keep the questions coming.

 

Ive been in the reserves for 12 years now and drive all the time. Im primarily a 91B with H8(heavy recovery,Wrecker operator) and yes military training will get you no where. i have my CDL that i got on the outside on my own. and even with the CDL, and being in the military for so long driving ALLOT with deployments ect it doesn't matter..lol.. they wont drivers school. plain and simple, well or go to the ones at their company

 

didnt you guys hear there just gonna freshen them up a bit then beat the #### out of pakistan. I think we all know thats comming

 

Saw a post earlier today from Halliburton; $125,000 a year up to $250,000 for drivers overseas; flak jacket included.

Serious about the money part. Don't know the details or when it was posted.

The dollar figure piqued my interest till my daughter came in the room to give me a hug after school. Sorry Halliburton, she wins.

 

My oldest brother is retired Army with 3 tours in Iraq. Then he went back twice as a civilian contractor. He paid his house off, paid cash for a new pick up and and a Airstream camper, plus saved a bunch. My nephew come back this year from Afghanistan and paid cash for a new Camaro.

You can make some serious money as a civilian.

 

serious money with serious danger....its a risky move...although now a days the Area in Iraq is much more settled.

 

Sounds like a plan to me. I just hope they will recall me even though my disability and everything. Ill go back behind a 240 in pakistan or Iran or even N Korea.

You would see us Marines leading the way in to those crap holes and loving every minute of it!!!
