I'm looking for a truck driver job. Don't suppose you know the name of that company. Pay is good, life-style interesting.
No I don't but you are right the pay that guy was making was pretty incredible.
I was looking,and there are plenty of driver jobs in Iraq, (KBR) but most don't mention weapons carry. Wouldn't want to drive if not armed. Will look futher. Thanks for the input.
