Buckle Up America
Let's face it. America needs truck drivers. With more than 3/4 of the nation's goods transported by truck, the nation's economy cannot go on without truckers.
The Good Stuff...
Why being a truck driver ROCKS!
1. Good Pay
There is currently a national shortage for drivers (more than 20,000 drivers needed) so companies are willing to pay more for drivers. The best part is, as your years of experience increase there are guaranteed pay raises.
2. Benefits
Most trucking companies offer competitive benefits for their employees including medical, dental, vision, prescription medication coverage, life insurance, and retirement plans.
3. Bonuses
Bonuses can often be given for employees who have a safe record, have been with the company for a long time, or who haul long distances.
4. Flexibility
Truckers work schedules can often be very flexible and many companies also offer paid vacation and holidays.
5. Not your 9-5 office job
Thank goodness you don't have to work in a cubicle all day- you're out on the road enjoying the change of scenery.
6. Job security
Because there is such a shortage of drivers today, you can rest assured that while others might be losing their jobs, your job is secure. With more than 3/4 of American goods transported via trucks, you'll never not be needed.
6. Paid EducationMany truck driving companies will pay for you to attend a truck driving school to attain your commercial driver's license (CDL), in-turn making you eligible for their CDL driver jobs.
