Are you looking for a career that has a lot of drive? Personnel in the Army and Navy have the opportunity to train for a job that easily transforms to civilian life. In high demand by all branches of the military, truck driving offers many different opportunities. US Navy truck drivers are responsible for hauling equipment and personnel safely and efficiently from one location to another.
Truck Driving Offers Much Diversity
Truck drivers in the Army and Navy operate various vehicles from regular pick-up trucks, to personnel carriers, or 18-wheelers. While many Navy jobs require the individual to live and work aboard ship, the diversity of a truck-driving job allows the person to stay on land, but still be an intricate part of the US Navy. Much of the Navy’s truck driver’s time is spent transporting the necessary equipment and supplies from warehouses to loading docks for transfer aboard ship. Truck drivers in the military receive specialized training in order to properly perform their jobs.

Civilian Job Opportunities
Upon leaving the military, Motor Transport Operators are highly trained and fully qualified to obtain gainful employment as civilian truck drivers. They must obtain a CDL (certified driver’s license) to operate a commercial vehicle on US roadways, but their extensive training and hands on experience while in the military gives them a distinct advantage over their civilian counterparts, who must obtain their training in other, often expensive, training programs.
