Question for Canadian Truckers/ Canadian Company Owners

On patrol in Afghanistan

I am currently serving in the Canadian Forces (Military Police) and am seriously considering becoming a trucker when I retire in the future. I will have a good pension and only want to become a company driver to supplement my income. I have done some research and have found out that Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning here in Ontario, Canada

(http://calendardb.humber.ca/LIS/WebCalendar/CE/ProgramOffering.do?name=08731)

offers a Small Business Management For The Trucking Industry Certificate for truckers. If I were to take this course while still serving in the military would it help me on my resume when I go to search for a job after I retire?

I currently have no experience driving big rigs or my AZ license and I am planning on going through a local accredited driving school.

Also, how would companies look at my current employment and life experience even though I would be a rookie driver still "wet behind the ears!"?

I am professional, have served 4 tours overseas (2 in Afghanistan) and currently am a shift commander at my police detachment.

I want to be a driver but I also want to offer potential employers my vast experience that the military has given me in the past 24 years.

Oh Ya, I have 24 years in the military and I am only 41 YOA.

I would love to get comments from my fellow Canadians and Southern friends as well.

Thank You

Cyril
