    Wassup, I would like to say hi to everyone on this forum. I go by Spellman and once I begin driving will use that as my handle. I am a former Marine ( still a Marine in my heart) and currently enlisted in the Army with a total of 13yrs of service. I am in the process of transitioning from active duty Army back to being a good ole civilian. I just enrolled in truck driving school and decided to join the forum to help in my research of what companies to look at and which ones to stay clear of.

    I have read numerous posts of new drivers asking about a company after signing on and finding out they just picked the worst company in the industry. I hope to avoid that mistake, I am open to any advice that the seasoned drivers on here have to offer.

    Welcome to TTR! I'm former Army. What/How did you go Marines to the Army?
    Did you get out and reinlist? You don't here many stories of cross military.

    I think one other member done that.

    Good luck trucking. This forum will help you alot, but there is still plenty stuff you have to walk that mile, or drive it. :)

    Basically, you have to find the best of the worst. The real good jobs won't come for a year or two.

    LOL, I actually have ran into a lot of former Marines in the Army, to answer your question I went through a bad divorce and got out of the Marines so I could get custody of my kid, after a few yrs I remarried and tried to go back in but they wasn't accepting prior service at the time so I went Army and got a better MOS. Most other Marines I spoke too switched just to be able to Fly Helicopters and get that Warrant status!!
