What is the average you’ve worked daily as a 88m? Hours wise…. Weekends common? On rotation?
Give me the scoop I have had my CDL for 7 years and in the civ world it’s garbage and I can enter as a e4 with having my CDL so long or pick a new field my asvab was 46?

The average you work excluding PT is in accordance with a training schedule which is generally is generally an 8 hour work day with an hour of PT. So 9 hours. But the training schedule hours out the window when mission dictates.
As an 88M it depends on what type of unit you are assigned to as to the frequency with which you drive, perform maintenance, or work on basic soldiering skills. And as for the 8 hours, that's just on paper.

Meaning that getting released at the 8 hour mark isn't generally possible. There is always a meeting, a spill in a motor pool, a prime mover (your vehicle) requires repair etc.

I like the "That's just on paper" We were a rapid deployment unit so I can't remember a day that was only 8hrs.

It All Depends On The Post And Unit You Are Assigned To, 88Ms Can Operate Any Vehicle With Wheels,
I Was Stationed At Ft Irwin My Primary Unit Was HET Platoon 31st Maintenance Company, However We Had Drivers Detailed To Drive School Buses For Troop Transport .
I Spent Three Months Assigned To The Garrison Command Protocol Office, Driving VIPs In Sedans And Humves.
As For Your Work Schedule You Could Work 12-14 Hour Days 7 Days A Week Or 8 Hour Days 5 Days A Week, At Fr Irwin We Got A 4 Day Weekend At The End Of Each Rotation.
Unit Mission Will Dictate Your Schedule Always.
88M Is A Great MOS And You Can Go Anywhere They Have Wheeled Vehicles.

The ours depends on the type of mission that your company has. When I was on NTC our days were about 12 hours during rotations. A transportation Company has a different tempo compared to a FSC. The bottom line is the job is great I did it on Active and on the reserves.

Lazer Cassidy - NTC - National Training Center Fort Irwin, CA. I had my choice for my last duty station. I chose Fort Riley, Kansas instead of Fort Irwin. Fort Irwin is a combat simulation training base. Every unit in the Army is on rotation to go there once every 2 years (or the training base in Fort Polk which is much easier).
FSC? Not sure or can't remember :(
