The trucking industry is booming, with data showing that
trucks carried the most cargo out of any transportation method in the U.S. last
year by far. With tons of opportunity and new regulations cutting back the
hours for many truckers, new drivers are in high demand. More than 300,000 jobs
are projected to be available for new truckers in 2014. But not anybody can
just climb behind the wheel of a commercial vehicle; they must be trained and
skilled in the trade. This is where many new initiatives are coming in to help
promote the trucking industry and recruit and train new drivers.
One of these initiatives is the 160 Driving Academy. They
are one of the fastest growing truck driving schools and are hosting hiring
initiative events. Many large North American transportation companies are even
sponsoring the program and paying for the tuition of qualified applicants and
guaranteeing them jobs upon graduation at no cost to them. With so many jobs
available to skilled drivers, now is the time to get the proper education for
the industry. Trucker numbers are dwindling as the need for them is spiking,
making the transportation industry a great opportunity for the unemployed.
