Trucking is a Great Opportunity

America lives by truck! Trucks are on the road 24 hours a day, every day of the year, carrying everything our nation needs. Our country depends on the trucking industry to deliver its goods. As we move toward the future, our communities will rely even more on swift and efficient trucking service, as our economy demands it.
A serious driver shortage is developing that could disrupt our fine-tuned distribution system. It is not a shortage of goods or shortage of equipment. Surprisingly, it is a shortage of qualified men and women who drive trucks.

• The transportation industry is the second largest employer in America, second only to agriculture.
• The average take-home pay for an over-the-road driver is among the highest in America.
• The trucking industry expects to hire about 5 million new drivers before 2010, or about 400,000 new drivers every year (according to the American Trucking Association).

Types of Truck Drivers

• LONG-DISTANCE DRIVERS, also called long haul or over-the-road drivers, operate heavy trucks and may make a trip and return the same day, or lay over until the next day. Others may travel to more distant points and be away from their home base for a week or longer.

The Word is “Professional”

Progressive Truck Driving School evolved as a result of high demand for truck drivers nationally. The trucking industry supports high safety standards, and better safety requires extensive training by well-qualified teachers.
