Truck Driving Iraq

Truck driving Iraq is very dangerous.

Can you drive a truck? There are many truck driving jobs in Iraq. If you have experience in driving a large truck, you can drive one in Iraq starting around $70,000 a year if you complete the entire year on your contract. Some companies pay more.

KBR provides much of the truck driving Iraq. They send hundreds of employees to both Iraq and Kuwait every week.

KBR is headquartered in Houston, Texas which is where you will start your journey to Iraq if you are hired by them. You actually start by applying online and if they like what they see, Halliburton will call you for a phone interview. Then they will hire you, sight unseen, and send you a ticket to fly to Houston for about three weeks for testing and for getting ready to go to Iraq.

There is a lot of money to be made and, if you don't mind being away from your family for a year and you don't mind the heat and the danger, some of this money can be yours. You can earn two times or more what you earn in the United States as a truck driver.

Just so we are clear, this is a very dangerous job. Understand that insurgents blow up vehicles on Iraqi roadways a lot. Still, many Americans sign up and drive supplies from Baghdad to military bases all over Iraq, making it possible for our troops to perform their jobs.

There are snipers everywhere. You will be shot at. You could drive on a landmine. You could be wounded, tortured, kidnapped, murdered, decapitated. The insurgents hate your guts and they do not play games.

The heat gets up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and it is unlike any type of heatwave you have experienced in America.

If you get a flat tire, guess what? There is no AAA Club. You get out of the truck and change the flat. And the whole time you had better be praying, asking the Lord to protect you.
