Hmmm... it's a thought, I'm considering getting into the wrecker business now, that's the good thing about being military transportation (in the Air Force ) at least, I drive && operate everything.

We'll see what happens when I get there...

The local pepsi distributor here will help you get your CDL. If you already have experience or a CDL, that's a huge plus. Thats how I got hired when I worked there, I was the only applicant who already had experience AND a valid CDL. 8)

James,

Go to your transition point. They have information on trucking companies that help you get into trucking. You can contact varioius companies now via e-mail and get an idea of what will be available to you.
