Hey everyone. I am new the this forum and I am looking for advice and experience from veterans that have entered into the many veteran programs. I looking at completely changing my career once I get out. I am currently and IT Network Administrator and I need more freedom and less desk work lol. I have always been interested in trucking since I was a youngin' as my Aunt and Uncle own a logging company in Idaho. Anyway, I will be separating in January and want to hear about recent experiences as far as job choices. I have read a lot of opinions on dollar accounts, schooling, etc., but I plan to live in Buffalo, NY when i separate to be with my family after 12 years of service. We can handle OTR for the first year, but ideally I'd rather have home time and be able to stay in Buffalo with either regional routes or dedicated.

Any and all advice/recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for that. Pretty much answered some questions that I didn’t ask and brought on more questions lol. Appreciate the assistance.

I agree. Post this in the general discussions portion of the forum for more responses. We have a member, Cecilia that had created This thread 4 months ago about it.

Hello I am currently active duty military and have been approved for the troops2transport program and trying to figure out some reviews on the process after it’s all complete. If you amor familiar with the program, they basically get you pre hired and setup all costs via Gi Bill benefits. I’m excited for it, but looking for some peace of mind for the job opportunities that follow. Any information. Would be great. Thank you in advance!
