Alive 11 in Atlanta, Georgia ran an article about the trucking industry. The article was directed more so to truck driving schools and the increase in enrollment. This article seemed to tell a slightly different story than the standard tale of unemployment in the nation.
Trucking schools in Georgia are packed with folks that are looking for training to get into the truck driving industry. According to the article, DeKalb Technical College has seen a 20% enrollment increase when compared to last years numbers. The article also notes that the industry isn’t just for men, and quotes the positive opinion of a female student. Overall the article shows how truck driving school is a step towards a new begining for many.
Another very important thing to note here from the article was this statement about the employment outlook for those that get into trucking. “The school’s director says they have a 90 percent graduation rate and about 95% of their students are finding jobs in the trucking industry.” That’s right 95% are finding work. That makes the job outlook look pretty good for those students that enroll.
We also decided to post on this story because the Alive11.com article mentioned that there was a 3 month waiting list for enrollment at DeKalb. At CR England there is no waiting list at all. So if your considering trucking schools, give CR England a look over. The nice thing about CR England is that your guaranteed a trucking job when you’ve completed your cdl training.
