Heavier Trucks Can Drive Highways in Vermont

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Recently, we ran an article about the chance of heavier trucks having the possibility of being allowed on highways.  Here is an article from a couple of weeks ago that Vermont Governor, Jim Douglas, signed a bill allowing heavier trucks to run through his state and Maine.  According to the article, “Vermont governor signs bill permitting heavier trucks on interstates”, it is a 1-year pilot that allows trucks of 100,000 lbs. plus to use highways.  In the past, any trucks 80,000 or more lbs. had to stay off highways and drive through small communities and neighborhoods.

Trucking Companies are thrilled because they can save money and time with this new pilot program and neighborhoods are too because they resented big trucks driving past their homes.  This is a win-win for both disgruntled sides.

This beta program will evaluate the impact from heavier trucks driving over highway roads, safety, and durability of the bridges and pavement.

This program also is set to save energy and use less diesel, allowing the states to become more environmentally green.  Plus, Governor Douglas feels that this bill will allow employers to improve their bottom line and hire more people in the bad economy of our times.

Whatever the outcome of this 1-year pilot program, the rest of the country is watching.  If it succeeds, I’ll bet more states follow lead.

Finding a new career at the start of the New Year could make it feel like Christmas in January.

There is no doubt that the holiday season this year has been a much-needed break for many people. The only bad news is that after the gifts have been opened and the Christmas lights go out, it’s time to go back to work. If you’re out of work, your probably returning to the job hunt so the New Year may not be so exciting.

Premier Truck Driving Schools offer industry-leading training to those who meet the CR England hiring criteria.

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

New Truck Driving Jobs Blog

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

We have decided to split up some of our blog content into a truck driving school blog and a truck driving jobs blog. We found that we need to post more stories and news information about trucking in general, but that not every story is really relevant to the people that are not driving yet.

For example an article about adjusting reefer settings may not mean much to someone who doesn’t know exactly what we are referring to when we say “reefer” when it comes to the business of trucking. So here is a link to the new truck jobs blog.

Click here to visit the truck driving jobs blog for everything from news to dedicated route job openings at CR England. We think the split will keep the content more focused to our readers. All major news will posted on both sites so that know one misses the really big news.

Here are some highlights of the content we will be posting on the new CDL jobs blog are:

  1. Truck maintenance information
  2. Review gadgets for the truck driver
  3. New tractor reviews
  4. Chrome and custom truck stuff
  5. Safety information
  6. Job Postings

We think the new site will be a great resource for those in the business already and can serve as an information outlet for drivers on the road.

White Collar Truck Driving Jobs Are The Future

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I was reading a great story on Cleveland.com and I came across a great discussion about the current economic climate that shared a few stories about former white collar business people who have gone to truck driving schools across the country. 

The article had a story of a man who was formerly employed by Bear Sterns. He was laid off shortly after the investment bank failed. Instead of finding another office job he decided to go to truck driving school and pursue truck driving jobs as a new career. The Associated Press article that ran today said that the man decided to get training after sending out more than 35 resumes and didn’t have any employment opportunities pan out.

There is no doubt the economy has beat down a little and trucking is no exception, but the jobs truck drivers do are always in high demand. Many polls often show that truck jobs are hard positions to fill. This can make the trucking industry an easy choice for many who have lost their jobs from layoffs and cost cutting initiatives.

The article also discussed a gentleman named Allan Cohen who after loosing his job as a publisher decided to choose truck driving as his next career. Cohen says he chose trucking because he believes the trucking industry is recession-proof. Cohen also believes that for him, driving will be therapeutic.

Whether your white collar or blue CR England may have the truck driving jobs that you may be looking for.

The complete Cleveland.com article can be found at http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2009/07/recession_presses_white_collar.html
