Has anyone taken a shot at it. (no pun intended). Ive heard it pays $100K/year if you make it that long.

I also was told that it is tax free. Don't know how true that is though.

I know a guy that is working in Irag for Haliburton and his salary is tax free. Been there nearly a year and he plans on staying another year if it last that long. He's not driving a truck.

There was a recruiter here a few months ago. Give her a call and get the information first hand. See the thread http://www.truckingboards.com/trucki...k-drivers.html

TnTom, go to YouTube and do a search for "KBR Convoy Ambushed In Iraq" and watch that video. I think it will give you an idea as to what those guys deal with over there.

In order for it to be tax free you must work or be there 330 days I believe
