Trucking is on the rise

When it comes to years, 2017 hasn’t been half bad. In fact, in regard to the trucking industry, it’s been downright fantastic; perhaps even one for the record books.

The amount of freight hauled in 2017 has surpassed the previous four years, now coming in at levels not seen since 2013. Simply incredible. What these numbers demonstrate is that the need for trucking (and truck drivers) is as strong as ever, and that trucking as a career choice is a brilliant move. In a sea of endless news about autonomous rigs and jobs being lost to technology, this is very good news indeed.

In fact, most hauling companies are having a difficult time finding enough quality drivers to staff their road crews. What other occupations are seeing this type of demand for employees? Not many. And the best news is that truck driving doesn’t require a difficult-to-obtain college degree. If you can drive, follow the rules, and be responsible, you very likely could be a driver as well.
