pearlpro, I agree with the living in cramped quarters though not a favorite aspect of my current career, it is a necessary evil when you have to figure out accommodate about 5500 people on one vessel. The main thing I was interested in learning is ya'lls opinions on how steady work is for both...

Well now that you mention it, I haven't brought it up lately, but retirement is approaching and she says to me "do what makes you happy" I enjoy driving and seeing the country, so I have been thinking either this or RV transporter, but back hauls in the RV world aren't so good from what my...

We were thinking Western OK, but I spent 3 years in central IN as a recruiter and saw quite a few expediters around mainly on the weekends, so I'm thinking she and I will need to revisit the idea of IN again. I'm originally from PA.

Kinda looks like the Ford, doesn't it ;)

Daffy I was figuring solo, as the wife is a nurse and would rather not waist all of the money spent on her degree to ride around with me.

I'm just over a year from retiring from the Navy, and I'm still interested in this line of work. Though I've read through some topics and I am seeing that straight trucks seem to get more work than vans/sprinters. So my question for all you vets (no pun intended) is should a rookie jump right...

Thank you, yes I am blessed, God is good, and the aches and pains are all here. Might have a hard time selling a CV/Sprint to the wife, that one was the family vehicle... It's a total loss too... Thanks again! Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Black ice, gotta love it flipped end over end with a roll for good measure, with a lot of help from God I walked away a lil sore but none the less, walking. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

I am from PA originally and was looking to retire there as well. I'm from the Bedford county area but also have family in Chambersburg. As a vet I'll have my own health insurance which will come in handy by not having to pay for that plus my pension, will be nice. My wife is a nurse...

Do you have to live in Ohio to sign on with DeMaris?

Looking over the drivers wanted ads on the site, I am wandering how or who will hire a fellow who is getting started in the business? That is to say, how does one get experience? I have read several post saying don't buy a van right off but start as a driver first, but most of the ads are...

I also have another question, (look what you guys did you got me started:rolleyes:) has anyone seen the domestic vans outfitted by Maxx Automotive in the business? Here are some pics! Maxx Automotive Corporation - UltraMaxx - TerraMaxx - Photo Gallery

Thanks Big Al, and yes I have had more that a few 24 to 36 hour days getting the job done so the fighters can go off the pointy end. I enjoy a little urgency when I'm working keeps me on point. I have a question and I hope it doesn't stir up a hornets nest, who is a good company to sign on...

I'm a composite technician in the Navy, I truly enjoy the work, but the higher I go in rank the farther from the hands on I become. Kinda takes the fun outta things for me. :( But I enjoy driving, and seeing new places so this line of work kinda appealed to me, I realize as with anything...

Slo-Ride, Well my roots are on the road, my Dad is a 37 year vet of hauling coal and steel, O/O. He retired in 1998, but as a boy I spent many a weekend helping with the maintenance of his KW. And occasionally would go along with him. I fell in love with the lifestyle. But life has a...

Brisco, I am an aviation structural mechanic, we maintain the the air crafts skin, flight control surfaces, hydraulic system, landing gear, and wheels. So I know a bit about preventive maintenance in a very harsh environment. Controlled crashes on the flight deck of a carrier takes it's...

Hello All, As I read threw the threads on this site, it seems expedite work with a cargo van can be a challenge, and rewarding at the same time. I am looking towards this as a job after I retire from the Navy. I've traveled the world, now it's time to travel my country. :o I enjoy all...
