INDUSTRY: TRUCKING AS A CAREER
What A Career In Trucking Can Mean To You
HIGHEST PAY
Drivers of diesel and long-haul trucking
equipment make the highest pay of any drivers in the
industry. In addition to high pay there are often benefits
like hospital, sick pay and pension plans. A Class A
License is a necessity in the industry today, permitting you
to drive the largest and most complex trucking equipment
on our highways and getting paid commensurate with
your responsibility. Let's face it, people go to school for
years to learn professions that pay less than diesel
driving. Trucking will provide you with a solid secure
future in one of America's largest growth industries.
ADVANCEMENT
The trucking industry is a wide open
field where a man or woman has real opportunities for
advancement. The variety of choices is tremendous, and
the field is rapidly expanding. This is a job where a man or
woman can even go on to own his/her own big rig and
become their own boss. As an owner-operator, a diesel
truck driver's earning potential is virtually unlimited.
TRAVEL
The modern trucker now has unparalleled
opportunities through long-haul for travel. The whole
continent is now opened to him/her, with it's rugged and
beautiful country, giant sparkllnq cosmopolitan centers,
and diversity of fascinating people. Truckers get paid to
see the same Sights that others save a lifetime to see.

RESPECT
A highly trained and skilled truck driver
receives - and deserves - the respect of employers, other
drivers, and the driving public. He/she joins a
brotherhood that is fiercely proud of the vital role it plays
in keeping this nation's economy afloat. Without trucks
our country would quickly grind to a halt. Almost
everything we eat, wear, or use is carried part or all of the
way by truck.

JOB FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
In addition to
good pay and a bright career, diesel semi-truck drivers
can look forward to more job freedom and independence
than most people ever dreamed of. On the road there is no
one looking over your Shoulder. Out there it is just you,
your rig, and the open road.
If you want more money, more freedom, more adventure,
a better life, trucking is for you!
