Operates Air Force vehicles including aircraft refuelers, munitions transporters, and other special purpose vehicles. Provides ground vehicle support across Air Force installations and deployed locations.
“You'll operate the full range of Air Force ground vehicles — aircraft refuelers, munitions transporters, crash-rescue trucks, and heavy equipment — and earn CDL certifications in the process. CDL holders are in shortage nationally and the civilian trucking and transportation industry will hire you immediately. You'll also drive things that civilians don't have access to, which makes for better stories than most logistics careers.”
You're the bus driver and delivery driver for the base, and every base event that requires transportation will find its way to your unit's schedule. Convoy support, VIP transport, flight line vehicle operations, and 'will someone please drive the general to the airport again' are the actual job. The CDL is legitimately valuable and the civilian transportation market is real. Snow removal duty at bases in cold climates is a character-building exercise that the CDL does not cover. The Air Force vehicle fleet is older than most of the people operating it. The job is what it is: honest, predictable, and less glamorous than any recruiting poster will suggest.
