I worked for KBR in 2005-2007 as a driver and was over $100,000 each year. The tax free deal was what made it worthwhile. But they no longer ad the uplifts to pay that we got back then so if you make $60,000 now, I would be surprised.
And Afghanistan is winding down anyway, My nephew who works for Fluor is coming home this week as his job ended there.

This was Iraq truck driver
2700 base pay w/5% uplift
6 day work schedules, w/option to work 7th day
10 hr shifts at 15.58 p/hr OT after 40
But she said KBR was trying to finish up in Iraq with the drivers. Then you would be transfered to Afghanistan. Not sure if the pay was a little higher there. However it should have been. Because bases still get hit in the ghanny.
As for Fluor I had a buddy that came back home in 2019 from Afghanistan with them. And he said the money just isn't the same now.
Me personally wouldn't drive for a contractor unless another conflict kicked off. Then the pay would go up.kemosabi49 Thanks this. -

Does any of the Former convoy drivers remember Mancuff from Anaconda? I heard maybe it was 3 yrs ago. That he was still over there. WOW!!!
It was crazy to me how some of those CC's or drivers that smooched there way into management. Though they were going to come back to the U.S. and become some big manager at a trucking company.
Hell most everywhere I tried once I got back said that the experience didn't count because the driving wasn't in the U.S. But like a buddy said the only promotion those guys would see in the states was a driver trainer for stevens or England.
On the flip side I didn't look at KBR as a career. It was just a temporary job that payed more than most companies in the U.S. at the time. And it allowed me and others to make and save some cash. However I never went to Thailand to blow my cash on those chicks like others did.
It was a shame that some of those guys went home broke!!!Last edited: Jun 4, 2021

Give it time, the next conflict will be along shortly and KBR will be looking for drivers again. Maybe to run the gauntlet from CA to NJ thru the wilds of mid-America.
RollinThunderVet and wndrwtr Thank this. -
I'm SO glad I drive in the US
I'll just leave this here...
Yeah it's Iraq but it's more about the employer. KBR is a subsidiary of Halliburton. -
JoeyJunk Thanks this.
