    I helped design and build LAV's for 17 yrs and have seen some bad pics of Hummvees and their drivers. Good on you for your great attitude. Best of luck.

    IEDs... such fond memories of those. I remember when the EFPs were a new thing, and we were still riding around in the 998s, just stacked in the back like we're back home riding in a pickup. Oddly enough, we had M1113s for Kosovo (what a farce that mission was), but we couldn't get the ECVs when we needed them the most... of course, not that it really made that much of a difference (as you've also learned the hard way).... someone with their hands deep in Renco's pockets decided, "hey.. the Humvee's getting the #### kicked out of it, so the answer must be to put more on the ground!". Meanwhile, some time later, we finally figure out what the Rhodesians and South Africans figured out in the 19-#######-seventies, re: MRAPs (in fact, most of the ones we ended up putting into service originated in South Africa during the time when we didn't do business with them at all).
    What rotation were you in and what FOB were you out of?

    If you get a local job, ask for a Cat CT680 with the CX31. That would be so awesome!

    First, thank you for your service.

    I saw halvor lines was already mentioned, but you can also check out sue vinjie trucking which is a sister company and basically functions as their refer division.

    You may also want to check out Jeff foster trucking as well. I know for a fact they have some automatic kenworth trucks in their fleet as well.

    I know drivers at all three companies and they seem to be happy. Especially my buddy that works for Jeff foster.

    I also know Jeff a little and he seems like a stand up guy for what it's worth. I've never worked for him in trucking but have worked for the guy that trains his cutting horses and I have no complaints about how he has treated me or others in that circle in the past.
