A recent U.S. government job posting is a reminder that trucks carry some pretty interesting cargo across the country. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is seeking drivers based in Amarillo, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, to transport nuclear weapons and other materials across the country. The job posting for “nuclear materials couriers” closed on Tuesday and is currently reviewing candidates, according to NNSA. The salary ranges from $52,248 to $76,981 a year and candidates would need to obtain a top-secret security clearance.
