I think i have the attitude covered, i did some flat bedding in the army, but with ammunition and heavy equipment mostly. i explained to the recruiter, i never lost anything off my truck in the military, and it may not count , but on the weekends i help my father in law tarp and strap his loads down just to give him a break, i like the active lifestyle flatbedding presents to me and it gives me a chance to get out and get some experience. i had tried getting on with heavy haul or a specialized carrier but not having DOT experience really hurt me , thank all you guys for what you do on this forum and out on the road, and like the transportation corps says, WE are the Spearhead of Logistics

i just got my cdl A - w/ tank/hazmat/x last week, but drove in the us army for 3 years and 5 months, is there anywhere that has that structure like the military, or even considers some driving experience as an 88Mike? I've been looking at flatbedding, talked with a melton and central Oregon recruiter today, both places seem alright, also looking at tmc , or if i have to, ill branch out further to see what i can snatch up. Everyone's input is extremely appreciated, pro's , con's , pay, all of it..
