Is Truck Driving For you?
The Individual truck driver is the
backbone of the entire trucking industry, and of course the trucking
industry keeps the wheels of our economy rolling. According to the
occupational Outlook Handbook, which is printed by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (www.bls.gov/oco/ocos246.htm), a little over 3 million
people worked as truck drivers in 2002.While there are no guarantees ,
the employment prospects for truck drivers is projected to be
favorable, and with expected shortages in the industry, qualified
drivers should be able to obtain employment.
There is no profile of a typical individual who decides to become a
truck driver. Truck driving is a career that can provide employment
opportunities for those who are changing careers, as well as those who
have few if any job skills. The person must be willing to work hard,
abide by the rules, and develop good work habits. Truck driver
training enables individual, often with a limited amount of formal
education to obtain the skills needed to obtain a commercial Driver's
License, perhaps with as little as one month of formal training. This
provides them with the ability to obtain an entry level position,
which can lead to even better employment opportunity as they get
experience.
Not everyone can or wishes to spend months or even years training for
a new career, Unlike many other occupations, truck, truck driving
enables individual to acquire relevant job skills, obtain a license
and start earning money in less than two months. Obviously this can
make truck driving an attractive alternative for the unemployed or
those individual with limited skills and/or few jobs opportunities.
This means that many people who are willing to work hard can literally
pull themselves up by their own bootstrap and obtain employment in a
career that can provide them with long term financial security.
