Question
i retire soon from the military.  i hold a secret security clearance.  are there trucking companies out there that need someone with my level of clearance?

Answer
Hi Dave.

I'd look into TSMT (Tri-State Motor Transit.)  They haul a lot of sensitive, Government freight.  They have what's called the 'ghost fleet' that reports only to certain 'authorities' within the government.  TSMT dispatchers and managers don't even know where their at or what freight is being transported.  It's, obviously, highly secretive and it's where I would go with your clearance.

Check them out at www.tsmtco.com

Good luck!
