Everyone thinking of retirement either soon or years from now should go to the Social Security website.
ssa.gov. You need to establish your account with a password and then you can see every dime that's been contributed and paid in. There are "tests" to show what retirement benefits would be or if you need to keep on working to meet your retirement demands. It's never to early to check it out...peace.

 

Grab yourself a government job. You can take your DD form 214 and add onto your retirement from the army.

Example: Get a job with the post office, in 3 years you'll be able to retire with 22 years. By the way, the post office is a good enough job that you might decide to make another career out of it. Many of the drivers I work with are ex-military doing exactly that. You would be right at home here.

 

You may check with your local Commercial Driving Schools, they hire instructors and pay around $3000.

 

This is actually a good suggestions because right now out of SE GA, coming with 0 civilian experience at the moment it is going to hurt you if you are truly looking for a minimum of 2k take home. I can tell you know unless you are not looking into specialized hauling heavy equipment down here taking you out of the house at least a few days a week, your not going to gross nearly that. Not many companies here will fit the bill that you are looking for.

Another thing is even though you logged the 400k miles safe in the military, do NOT expect any civilian company to give you any kind of credit for those miles unless you can verify them and provide a log book proving the mileage. I have had friends try with memo's and letters from all the way up to Division 66 and with no success. So as some companies may have "veteran apprenticeship" programs, it only refers to you being a vet and nothing to do with your MOS.

Wish you the best boss, I just got out of Ft Stewart last year around February, medically retired and now OTR full time because no locals around here would touch ANYONE without at least 2 yrs OTR experience.

I wish you the best brother.

 

I don't know who told you that pile of shenanigans, but CDL instructors don't make anywhere close to $3k a week.

Roadmaster here in Indianapolis just had a job seminar for instructors, and the pay was around $14/hr.
