Truck Driving Jobs
Truck driving jobs offer a wide variety of options. No matter how bad the economy gets you can be sure to find them all around the country. Trucking jobs began to fall off midway into the recession but trucking companies are hiring again because manufacturers and distribution centers are picking up production as the economy slowly recovers. I don't expect the economy to reach full potential for a while in fact I think there will continue to be ups and downs. However, I think the truck driving jobs will continue to grow especially since the new
CSA 2010 rules and regulations
have hit. I think a lot of older drivers will get out and a lot of bad truckers will be forced out. So truck driving is still a great career for the right person.
The
best truck driving jobs are usually with companies that make or sell their own products and have their own trucks and drivers. Sherwin Williams, Wal-Mart, Poly Corp, etc. To get these truck driving jobs you will usually need experience of at least 1 year (up to 3 is not unusual) and a clean driving record. That's why you will always hear me tell new drivers to try and keep your driving record in the best standing as possible. Otherwise you will not get these high paying trucking jobs.
They will also vary greatly depending on if they are less than truckload or complete truckload carriers. Less than truckload (LTL) means you will have multiple deliveries/stops on a trailer. Complete truckload means that you will have the entire trailer going to 1 stop. Sometimes you may have a few stops but it is not that trucking companies primary business model. Unless you are a stick hauler. (That means new furniture hauler like me) There are many different types of truck driving jobs. The type of trucking job you have will help determine how long you stay out, whether you touch the freight or not, how much your paid, the benefits, home time and probably other factors that don't come to mind right now.
Here is a list of the different types of truck driving jobs
