Tech Schools Enrolling More Truck Driving School Students

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Here is a quick bit on some recent news that was the last couple of days about a few Tech Schools that are adding to their truck driving school programs or adding more students to the roll.

According to the Coastal Courier, Savannah Tech in Georgia is adding a to their truck driving school program. They have even procured a former airport runway site to use as their driving track. Savannah Tech will provide the CDL program starting Oct. 5. A soon-to-be-constructed classroom will be put on the site on space made available to the college by the Liberty County Commission.

Here is a quote from STC President Kathy S. Love. ““We are very grateful to the county commission for allowing us to offer this training at this location,” and “It’s a continuation of a long and mutually beneficial partnership.”

The other Tech school that has had its truck driving school program noted recently is Moultrie Tech, of Georgia. Moultrie Tech has seen its enrollment spike this fall and their truck driving school program has ” already topped its own all-time high enrollment record from 2008 by almost 190 students this quarter with plans to add at least 20 more Commercial Truck Driving program students on its Tifton campus mid-quarter.”

This is great news for trucking companies that need to recruit drivers. Not all trucking companies are looking for recent graduates, but CR England is. If yoyu have recently completed a local truck driving school or are about to attend one, check out the job opportunities the CR England has to offer.

The Moultrie tech quote was taken from an article written by Staff Reports at The Moultrie Observer: http://www.moultrieobserver.com/local/local_story_271221508.html

Bio Diesel In Surplus

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Bio_DieselWe came across an article on checkbiotech.org about a surplus in biodiesel so we wanted to give a quick update. The article mainly discussed that the fact that biodiesel supplies are now in surplus. This surplus is largely due to two things.

The first is the fact that the European Union has enacted a ban on imported biodiesel. The European union made up roughly 80% of the sales from US diesel manufacturers.

The other significant reason is the cost. US manufacturers have used soybeans in the manufacturing process. Now, soybeans can cost upwards of 30% more than they did just a few years ago.

The article also discussed the issue of political uncertainty. The industry is stuck waiting to see what the policies of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will yield. If the EPA goes with a 650 million to 800 million requirements the surplus should disappear rather quickly.

This issue of a surplus will also be affected as the economy recovers. As more trucking jobs are created and more trucks are on the road surpluses will be drawn down.

Unemployed Headed to Truck Driving School

CR England Truck Driving Schools Start Here

CR England Truck Driving Schools Start Here

For the unemployed, truck driving school may be just the answer. Recent news reports seem to be pointing toward an end to the recession. Some reporters have even been bold enough to say that the recession is officially over. The job front however seems to be stuck in mud. Overall the positive reports for the nations employment situation haven’t turned up, and in many cities, jobs are still being lost.

For people that are not willing to go with the “wait and see” approach when it comes to their future,

    truck driving school

can be a great answer. Truck schools can also be a great way to start a new career in an industry that has a track record of providing above average pay and job security.

Above average pay used to be an important factor when people decided to quit their 9 to 5 job and get into trucking. People still can make between $30K and $40k in their first year which is a much higher amount that flipping burgers will yield. Now, the industries job security seems to be number one on the list. It is no wonder with companies like CR England going almost 90 years and never laying off a driver. Even in this recession or the one that just ended, depending on who you ask, truck drivers have always been in high demand. People switching form a career that was spent behind a desk to the open road can find security knowing that when the economy does begin to grow again, it is going to take truck drivers to make it happen.

If you’re ready to start a new career in the trucking industry you should look into CR England’s Premier Truck Driving Schools for your training. CR England will even guarantee you a job upon completion of the training program.

Find Out If Truck Driving School Is For You

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

CR England Truck Driving School Banner
Bad Economy got you down? Truck driving school could be for you.  This story is a basic run down that includes information about truck driving and a few of the benefits that truck drivers enjoy and also touches on some of the day to day duties that some people shy away from.

First of all there is little micro management. If you want to use the restroom or stop for a meal you can. If you need a few extra minutes to eat, you decide whether or not you should take the time. The draw back, is that if your not good at time management and you are not good at planning ahead its not going to work for you. You’ll ultimately add unnecessary stress to your job and if you’re late with too many loads you may not have a job.

Second there is paid travel. Few people have jobs where they get paid to see so many places. The jobs truck drivers do lead them all over the country while they get paid. The open road reveals many amazing landscapes and small towns that most people just don’t have the time to get out and see. One thing to consider with this is the weather. You may get to see Florida in August and Maine when its 20 below.

Also, you can get into trucking in just a few short weeks. That’s right in just a few weeks you could be a professional driver. Truck drivers can make as much as a college graduate and more in some cases. You want to consider things like home time when your deciding if you should go to truck driving school. Successful truck drivers work hard, and get paid well. The draw back is many of them are out 3 to 4 weeks over the road and then home for 3 to 4 days. 

Hopefully this short write up has given you something to think about. If all these things sound exciting to you; CR England truck driving school offers a 17 day classroom-training program that is followed by 90 days of over the road driving training.

Truck Driving Schools Tell A Different Story

Thursday, September 17th, 2009


Trucking Jobs and Unemplyment Office Sign

Earlier today, September 17, 2009 a couple of different articles were put out across the country. The stories seem to speak of a few positive notes for the economy and the country as a whole. The positive light seems to be especially relevant to the trucking industry.

 

In recent weeks past a lot of articles spoke about the state of the economy and even made imminent doom seem likely. Truck driving schools created an opportunity for people to forget the desk job and learn a new skill. Now the economy may be seeing signs of recovery on the horizon and those that attended truck school are now very grateful.

 

Today The Dickinson Press posted an article written by Lisa Call that tells a much brighter story than articles of the past. According to the article, Job Service North Dakota is over run with job openings. Truck driving jobs are just a few of the several hundred jobs that need to be filled. North Dakota is now being looked at as the bright spot in the economy.

 

Even before the recession there was a shortage of truck drivers. It seems from the Dickinson article that as the economy recovers, truck drivers will one again be in demand. Those that are able to get training and become a truck driver will become a hot commodity as this job situation spreads to other states.

 

Hopefully this story spreads to other states. Truck driving schools like CR England’s Premier Truck Driving Schools are taking on new students. If you or someone you know is interested in finding out more information please visit our website: www.GoToTruckDrivingSchool.com
