About the Position
Are you looking for a carrier where you're not asked for your driver or truck number every time you call? You deserve better treatment; you already have a name and we use it.

We don't offer misleading sign on bonuses to entice drivers to come to our company, shell games are for our competitors. We give you the tools to make you successful right from day one, those are not just words, that is a fact.

Our biggest issue in recruiting is convincing drivers that we’re not just another OTR trucking company. Most drivers have been lied to so many times by other carriers and recruiters that they have learned not to trust anyone as a result. That is not acceptable here at Terminal Transport.

Here are the facts:

Our Recruiter has a CDL, over 30 years’ experience as a driver, dispatcher, planner and as a safety director. He is also in the company drug pool. How many recruiters do you know that can say that? He is going to give you a very accurate picture of our company

Our CSA scores are good, something that should be important to you

We only hire experienced and professional drivers with above average performance and safety records to put in our trucks. That means staying off the cell phone and being that professinal driver that you are

A great pay package for experienced company drivers, with no games here. You work and we pay, that’s how it works. No nonsense is given nor accepted here

Health, Dental, Life and 401K are available after 90 days. A 40 yr old driver for instance, pays $85/month for health insurance and that’s for an above average policy

Our benefit package is expanding in the spring of 2017 to offer even more options to our employees, we are always seeking ways to improve our benefits and an apportunity has presented itself, come be a part of that!

Average 11,000 to 13,000 miles every month, even during the winter! Our drivers maximize their efficiency by being on time every time and eliminating excessive breaks and stops, we reward them with valuable home time

Safety, Performance, Efficiency, Canadian Border, Hazmat and Mileage bonuses that total over $5000 per year - you perform, we pay

We have very low driver turnover, well below the industry average, that should tell you something - We have tractors that are either 2015 or 2016's and no trailers are over 10 years old

A tractor will be assigned to you, no slip seating

Out 7 -14 days, maybe longer depending on your location (call to get details). But you will be home for 6 holidays and approximately every other weekend, our drivers appreciate being home and we are dedicated to making that happen, that’s what sets us apart from all other carriers

We have had a dedicated customer base since 1964 with no freight in the Northeast or CA

You will be driving 2800 to 3300 miles a week, year-round. Your expected to drive hard, but within DOT regulations

Tolls, Lumpers and Scale Tickets are all paid for by the company

80% of our freight is in the Midwest; 65% of it being drop/hook and 98% of it being no touch

We have no gimmicks to offer you, we’re just expanding, we have the technology and tools that you need to be successful and we make no apologies for that.

You must have had less than 3 jobs in the last 3 years, at least 12 months of OTR experience in the last three years with no major accidents or violations in the last five years.

Receive and follow dispatch orders and communicate daily when working

The call to serve and protect starts by defending our own.

Want to start your journey with the Navy?

Enlisted None

What to Expect

Master-at-Arms

More Information

Responsibilities

The law enforcement and security community provides a wide range of critical services to every part of the Navy. As a Master-at-Arms you may:

Provide security and physical protection for service members
Train fellow Sailors in security and shore patrol duties
Serve as a security advisor for your squadron
Assist in crowd control and riot prevention
Operate military prisons (brigs) aboard ships and on shore
Handle and care and training for dogs that detect narcotics and explosives
Conduct waterborne security patrol and interdiction operations
Provide protective service to high-ranking dignitaries and government officials
Conduct preliminary investigations into Uniform Code of Military Justice violations
Conduct crime prevention programs

Work Environment

As an Enlisted Sailor working in law enforcement, you will have the chance to work in a number of environments. Though sometimes you may work behind a desk, you will often be out interacting with the community in a law enforcement capacity. You can expect to work at shore stations in the United States and overseas, aboard ships or as part of a maritime security squadron. In short, your assignments could take you anywhere in the world.

Training & Advancement

Upon completion of initial Recruit Training (known as Boot Camp), those pursuing a Law Enforcement & Security role will report to San Antonio, TX, where they will receive formal Navy technical training at "A" School for about 9 weeks. Here, they will learn antiterrorism techniques, armed sentry/post standing techniques, crime prevention, military and civil law, communications, first aid, firearms deployment and physical restraint techniques.

Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and based on performance.

Post-Service Opportunities

It's also important to note that specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian sector.

Education Opportunities

Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the field of Law Enforcement & Security can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.

You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Qualifications & Requirements

A high-school diploma or equivalent is required to become an Enlisted Sailor in law enforcement and security. Those seeking a Master-at-Arms position should be people-oriented, dedicated, resourceful and versatile.

Part-Time Opportunities

Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Masters-at-Arms in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes.

For annual training, Masters-at-Arms may serve anywhere in the world-on ships or at bases and installations. Take a moment to learn more about the general roles and responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors.

Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.

Masters-at-Arms in the Navy Reserve serve in an Enlisted role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with the job, initial training requirements must be met.

For current or former military Enlisted servicemembers: prior experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement - so you will not need to go through Boot Camp again.

For those without prior military experience: you will need to meet the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending Boot Camp in Great Lakes, IL. This training course will prepare you for service in the Navy Reserve and count as your first Annual Training.
