A little twist on the Veteran’s Day observance. It would be interesting if the veterans would post their branch of service and date of their DD-214.
I’m a little unusual, because I have three. USMC (1985), Army (1990), and Army (1991). I’m sure Packrat has me beat though.
Chief that isn’t strange at all. I know Senior Chief has you beat, lol.
US Navy (1977-1983)
Much thanks and God bless each of you!!!
Navypoppop said it all!!! Amen
US Army (1992), US Navy (2012). 26 years active duty all together. Sometimes I am surprised that I retired a decade ago. Thank you to all fellow veterans for stepping up to serve our great country.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SERVED!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless!
Happy Veterans Day to everyone who wore the uniform. You continue giving of yourselves here on TT helping new drivers get the careers off to a great start, so thank you all.
Fellow veterans...
Happy Veterans Day!
USMC (1999) and only 2 years, 2 months with a medical discharge, so nothing to compare with you career vets. Nothing but respect for the sacrifice and service.
USAF 12 Aug 1972 - 15 April 1975. 10 Oct 1976 - 31 Mar 1988

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

I wish to thank all of our fellow Veterans here on TT for their service to our great nation. It does nor matter if you are male or female, white or black, Democrat or Republican, we as veterans all stood up for the greatest nation on Earth. Because of our dedication to duty everyone in the USA has the right to live here free even if they are different from what we believe in to be right. We as veterans have shown our loyalty to our great nation and I for one am proud to have had the chance to be a veteran of the U.S.Navy and proud to be an American. God bless the USA and to all veterans I too owe you my thanks.
EPU:
Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices
