    This is some good stuff.. I do appreciate all the input.. I'm definitely gonna make something happen this week.. I'm going to try the VA also.. As wel as call to see if I can get a possible sponsorship. I'm sure my soul will belong to someone soon.. Besides mamma.. Haha. But I don't mind paying dues.. I've been through that many times.. I just want to get my ### to work... Ive traveled plenty, so I am looking forward to whatever is dealt to me.. This website is very informative. Some of the things drivers do, we did on convoys in Afghanistan, well "Cooking in the truck".. Haha

    Sadly that experience doesn't count in the "real" world and to me its almost criminal. I have been driving since before I was in the military and have driven all over the world. I have done practically everything in this industry.. I drive quite often and even drove today. BUT since the industry demands that you have to be able to get dressed in the back of a sleeper for weeks on end and have driven across an invisible line on a map.. someone like me cannot even get a job as a "driver" anymore. Thank you for your service, I just wish it meant more to the industry. Thanks for the pictures..
