I am a Convoy Driver in Iraq. I have been here for 4 years ( over 300 missions outside the wire). Does Wal-Mart hire drivers who are just coming back from Iraq? I meet all the qualifications except for having driving experience in the US in the past 3 years.
Well lets see. First of all this job is not for everyone. We work 7 days a week 12 hours a day minimum. When you are on a mission you have to keep going until its done, my personal record is 26 hours. Its very hot (about 130 in the summer) and most of the trucks don't have very good AC. We usually run in 30 truck convoys with military escorts. We haul everything but I spent most of my time hauling jet fuel and explosives (I got more money that way). Now I am a Bobtail. A Bobtail is an experienced Convoy Driver with a mechanical background that operates a recovery truck during the mission. That means when we are running and a truck goes down I have to jump out and fix it or hook it and tow it while trying not to get shot or blown up. But the plus side is you will make good money and most of it is tax free. That is just a quick overview. If I tried to tell you everything this reply would be 5 pages long.
