What are the duties for a SSG as a 88M?

I believe ssg is the greatest job in the world. You’ll be supervising your soldiers working on the m1070 , 911, among others. Load securement load securement, super important. PMCS, on a 5988, make sure you’re parts are ordered correctly. Training, driving, backing up, winch ops, changing tires. BII layout, aal, there isn’t much, but sho should know where’s at. Skill level one training. If you have nco working for you, quarterly counseling with the ncoer check list, and if you’re able, put it on the training schedule. E4 and below is monthly on a 4856.

When I deployed, SSG was a convoy commander

It would all depend on what type of unit you will be assigned. I was assigned to Bco 703rd MSB. My company at the time was the only transportation company in all of 3rd ID. We were broke down into platoons like most company sized units. Each platoon had a particular type of wheeled vehicle that they were tasked to maintain mechanically. 5 tons, 22 1/ 2 ton S&P's, and HETS respectively for 1st 2nd and 3rd platoons. We also had a HQ Platoon and a Maintenance Platoon. As SSG you could be tasked as a Platoon Sgt or a squad leader. Our training, retention and orderly room NCO's were all 88M's at SGT or SSG rank. I worked in operations my last 2 years in this particular unit. Operations at the time consisted of a Truck Master (E7), a Ops SGT (E6 or E5) and a clerk or 2 (E3 or E4). With 3rd ID the operational and training tempo was fast paced and fluid. Trucks needed to be fully mission capable (FMC) and have the personnel ready at a moment's notice to run missions. This fell on the platoon leadership. Coordinating missions with SPOE fell on us in Operations. We got the type and number of equipment to be tasked along with personnel needed and a brief mission summary. Persons of Contact and OIC or NCOIC contact names. You could be doing any and all kinds of stuff. I was promoted to CPL and sat in the Operations Sergeants slot for 2 years. I missed running missions and being out there with the troops, but the critical thinking and all the coordination that went into putting together missions and briefing the Company Command as well as the platoon leadership of what would be expected of us on any given mission was awesome. Good luck Sarge. 88M is the what keeps the Army Rolling Along
