The Army describes 88M Motor Transport Operator as part of its transportation logistics team: supervising and operating wheeled vehicles over all types of terrain to move cargo and troops safely, managing loading and unloading, and reporting vehicle problems or damage. Civilian employers call this truck driving and transportation logistics, which is why heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers and transportation managers lead this page's matches.

A note from the founder

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
