I got my Class A too you don't see me making threads about it... :childplease:


Nah just fukking with you... That feeling of accomplishment when you pass the road test is :ahh:

Getting jobs at this point is easy. Most companies are always looking for new drivers. And even when you decide not to go over the road you're still at the top of the list for jobs that don't require CDL's.

GET 1 YEAR UNDER YOUR BELT THEN CONTRACT OVERSEAS. THEY START AT 125K FOR 6 MONTHS. TAKE A 6 MONTH BREAK THEN 25K RAISE EVERY YEAR YOU RETURN. DOWNSIDE IS YOU'RE LOCKED ON A COMPOUND IN THE DAY.

Where do I apply for an overseas job, like which website?
Would the jobs be in like South America or Europe?

Please tell me more :lupe:

How do I apply for a job like this, and what continents would the job be stationed at?

The way he did it is he went into the Army right after high school. They trained him as a truck driver. After finishing his 4 years with the Army he got out and started working as a government contractor. There's a lot of companies with government contracts, so you just have to figure out which ones have contracts for truck driving. He's in Afghanistan, so there's a risk and they pay you more because you're taking that risk. I'm sure he got preference because he's former military. You can make good money in the States driving though.

Oh so you can only go Trucking overseas only if you're in the army?
