Why a Career in trucking may be right for you
 

  • CURRENT DEMAND
    According to the Federal Government Occupational Handbook there is a current demand for 500,000 truck drivers (light and heavy) nationwide. You will have job security as your skills will be in demand.
  • CONTINUING DEMAND
    "If you've got it - a truck brought it." Trucks are used to deliver food supplies, oil and gas, clothing, materials to build homes, warehouses and factories. Can you think of any industry more important to our way of life ?
  • GOOD PAY AND BENEFITS.
    Most trucking companies are offering benefits such as paid vacations and holidays, medical and life insurance, along with competitive wages.
  • CHOICE OF DRIVING OPPORTUNITIES
    Today many opportunities exist in the trucking industry. You can choose from local, regional, or over the road driving jobs.
  • Entrepreneurial Opportunities
    70% of the companies operate 6 trucks or fewer and 88% of all trucking companies can be classified as small businesses. Many of the largest trucking carriers in the united states started as a single truck operation many years ago. Now they rank among the Fortune 500 companies. This means that you could have the potential to truly work for yourself and give your family the financial security it needs.
