What are the primary duties of Army MOS 88M Motor Transport Operator?

While stateside? While deployed? I'm considering this MOS & my assumptions are that stateside, I would pretty much be a truck driver, & deployed, I'd be responsible for transporting supplies, people, & wounded soldiers to wherever they need to go. But I don't want to make a decision until I have a better idea of what I'm getting in to.

Im a 88m and i can tell you. Its cake. You either drive. Be a gunner. Or a truck commander. When your not on the road you are doing operator level maintnece which means cleaning checking fluids changing tires. Simple ****. But its a pretty cake job with lots of sitting arround doing nothing.

Drive the truck, maintain the truck, wash the truck. Easy, peasy. It shouldn't change much depending on location. Maybe you'll get to run over some insurgents??

Try to be the COs driver, they get all the perks!

You've got your ideas on track. You'll also be responsible for "operators maintenance" on the vehicles. Such things a s cleaning, fueling, checking fluid levels, checking tire pressures, etc.
