A couple of months ago there was an article in the Boston Globe that is all too familiar. Ed Gullo is a 61-year-old news writer who has found a truck driving job as a FedEx truck driver. He is working as a temporary worker during the Holidays. He is out of one career and looking for another.
The article goes on about a 42-year old IT manager who is tracking packages and making deliveries. They both have different aspirations, but ended up in the same place. Looking at truck driving schools as an opportunity to start a new career.
It is becoming more and more common that white-collar workers are taking blue-collar jobs. In the trucking business, this is also becoming common. Patrick Greene was laid off from Bear Stearns where he took care of top executive travel arrangement. He went into truck driving and is very happy. Patrick stated “It’s something I always thought I would like, and just never got to do.” He’s happy and enjoys his new career.
Truck Driving is easier to get into than other jobs just by the fact that drivers are always needed. There will always be food and product that need to be sent from one part of the country to another. That translates into many truck driving jobs. Really big trucking companies a lot of times have truck driving schools and hire drivers upon graduation. Take CR England Trucking. They have one of the best schools out there and hire graduates immediately. If you are interested in becoming a truck driver, go to our website CR England and click on Truck Driving Schools. This may be what you are looking for; travel, flexibility, and hard work.
