Prior service Army veteran 92F

92f what kind of remf speciality is that? A pencil pusher of some kind.

 

@mover man OP is a petroleum specialist, short words for fueler or gas man. One of the most needed jobs in the Army at least for the trans units.

 

Hmmm petroleum specialists must operate the fueling point. Where the 64 Charlie's (truck drivers) go fill up.
The 64c's used to bring us the fuel and fill us up in the field.

 

mibethea, if your home state participates in it, and you operated tactical vehicles that were considered tractor/trailer vehicles in the same weight class as a commercial vehicle and equipped with air brakes you may qualify for a CDL A military waiver as well, to find out just ask your state DMV, if they do participate in it you will still have to complete their written exams to get the permit, but the DMV will give you a form for you and your last Army command to fill out explaining what type of equipment, weight class, air brakes, type of transmission ect you operated, if it satisfies DMV requirements you will not have to perform the pre trip or skills test portion of the CDL exam and your class C will be upgraded to a class A, my son went through this process to get his CDL in Arizona, one draw back though, he was licensed CDL A but automatic only, because the vehicles he operated were automatic and not manual transmission.

 

92 is a high identifier, but If in the petroleum pipeline. A very important job. After all with out fuel M1a1's and Bradley's aint' going no where.

 

#### 64C, that MOS is probably faced out and got replaced with 88M

 

So, mibethea , I do not want to discourage you from what you may very well perceive as your destiny BUT; the trucking industry is usually a long slog to financial success so don't make the mistake of believing even half the rosy stories company recruiters will most definitely tell you . It is a difficult business to adjust to , you will have your run ins with all kinds of people with chips on their shoulders , and that includes State Troopers , State and Federal DOT personnel , Weigh station personnel , Shippers , Receivers , Dispatchers , other Drivers , Truck Stop Operators , Mechanics I mean the list is long and comprehensive so be prepared for that . Not to say this is a regular thing but sooner or later you will run into someone and you will ask yourself why is this guy bustin my chops ? Anyway , the good thing is no one is breathing down your neck all day , they do it electronically Ha Ha , speaking of electronics ; e-logs , in case you haven't noticed that's a 5 letter word and that's all I'm gunna say about that . Thing is just do more or less what they ask you to do ( as long as its legal ) for the first year , work hard try not to get any violations if that's possible especially speeding tickets because those are career enders so be very careful about that . Most law enforcement entities will give you 5-6-7 maybe even 10 MPH over the limit depending on conditions just be careful with that in Truck Specific Speed Zones ie; steep grades and the like. So after your first year out there and you have 4 seasons under your belt you should feel comfortable with and understand the lifestyle and weather or not you want to stick with it . Also I will say most truck drivers are in the same boat that's 80% and then their is the other 20% and that's where you eventually need to be . I Started out in 1975 when I got out of the USMC I was tasked with driving a single axle GMC gas Job that had a 5spd box with a 2spd rear hauling a bed bugger #### thing was probably 15 yrs old then , I ended my career numerous times as an O/O over the last 44 yrs due to the love hate nature of the job but eventually permanently pulled the plug from a W900L with a 500 Cummins and a 13 spd big rubber lots of chrome Bla Bla Bla dragging a skate board all across these United States . So just do it or you will always for the rest of your life wonder what its like to haul 80k lbs. over Donner , Vail , Loveland ,Lookout , Grapevine , or a dozen other mountain passes and it will eat at you forever . Now you don't have to haul Over Dimensional Loads to make decent money like many people think but it helps, there are upsides and downsides to every type of freight out there you just have to figure out what you like doing the most , I have always preferred a skate board but the chaining and tarping will wear you down . but I still preferred that over dealing with the people in grocery warehouses , which you can't hardly avoid with a reefer or a van , you can pull a dump tlr also but for some reason I couldn't make any money doing that so I sold that tlr as well I guess I was just destined to pull a flat. Anyway there are lots and lots of choices just pick one have at it and keep the rubber on the road I'm retired now in the Bikini state good luck to you !
