Truck Driving Jobs

I know that if you can get just about any job in Iraq, they're going to pay you big bucks. My dad's been a cop for 23 years, and he makes about $52'000 a year, but he's signed up to be a guard for two years, and he'll make about $120'000 a year. Plus, he says when you stay over there for more than a year, $80'000 of that money is tax-free.

Well what about truckdriving? Would you need lots of experience to get hired to drive over there? (Or to BE ABLE to drive over there for that matter)? Would it be a hard job, and would it pay pretty good as well? (Someone told me truckdriving is about the most dangerous job you could have over there)

(Note: This is going to Iraq/Afghanistan as a CIVILIAN, not being in the military, where you wont' get payed much at all) :cry:

I wouldn't consider it unless I had Blackwater in the passenger seat or at the least the ability to carry a personal weapon.

I don't and have never had a girlfriend, and it gets kind of lonely, so you might could say I have a death wish...

I went to KBR website before and it looked to me that they require 2 years experience, hazmat and tanker endorsement. Yooper would know more
