The Yuma Sun ran article about the current job market. The article had dark undertones but it did have a few positive mentions in it. The story told of how a homeless man was ably to find a job and how a breadwinner was able to get off of unemployment and start a new job.

It these positive results come courtesy of the Yuma Private Industry Council or YPIC as its better known. Here is a quote from the article: “People come in with sad stories and we need to offer them hope,” said Cynthia Marshall, business services officer for the agency that seeks to connect job seekers and employers. “It’s when they come back with success stories that makes the job worthwhile.”

It is good to here that the market maybe making a turn. YPIC has offered some people hope and even a few an actual job. CR England also has job openings and as the NY Times recently mentioned, the company has many jobs to fill.

If your looking for work or wee laid of when a company made cutbacks give truck driving jobs a look and see if they are for you.

Over the road trucking jobs give people the freedom to see the country and they can even eliminate the set schedule of a regular Monday thru Friday job. The paid travel and flexible schedules that come with the job can make the industry attractive to many.

Imagine a life where you don’t have a set schedule. It has been very appealing to many people who have been living with a set schedule. The daily grind of a set schedule can wear out even the best of us. Over the road truck drivers can earn a descent living, so it is no wonder this line of work has been popular to so many.

Over the road drivers get to see many things that priceless. Having the ability to see all that the United States has to offer gives people the opportunity to experience freedom first hand. Imagine getting paid to see New York one day and then be heading down to Arizona the next. Many drivers take photographs of all the different sites they see. Others collect postcards and mail them to friends and family.

Truck driving jobs with training give a driver the freedom to plan their trip as they see appropriate. Trucking, which takes a limited amount of training to get started, is one of the few entry-level professions that give an individual the freedom to plan their day.

CDL Jobs Pay Better With Good Fuel Economy

BIGrigdave , , CDL Jobs 3 Comments

CDL jobs can pay really good. Your income can exceed $40,000 per year depending on how you manage your expenses. Your  income can be significantly effected by poor fuel economy. We decided to post a list of things you can do to minimize fuel waste and increase your fuel economy. Following these suggestions will give you the opportunity to keep more of your income in your pocket.

The areas we have identified as good ways to increase fuel economy are limiting your speed,  RPM management, idle reduction, equipment maintenance, and staying on route.

Limiting your speed:

Every 5 miles per hour you slow down will give you an extra ½ mile per gallon. Set your cruise around sixty instead of 65 and you’ll see a savings.

RPM Management:

Maintaining good smooth acceleration and smooth deceleration will keep you under 1800 RPM. The fewer miles you drive at higher RPM’s the better mileage you will get and this will make your CDL jobs pay better in the long run.

Keep Idle Times To A Minimum:

Ignore that old wives tail that says starting and stopping the engine burns more fuel than idling and you will save some serious money. It is just a myth.

Regular Maintenance:

A well-maintained tractor burns less fuel so keep up on your maintenance. Regular tire pressure checks and air filter checks will keep your equipment running efficiently. Poor tire pressure and air filters can create poor fuel economy quickly.

Staying on Your Route:

Staying on route assures you that you get paid for the miles you drive. Think twice before taking that detour for personal reasons and you’ll drive fewer non-paid miles.

Following the advice above will help you run a more profitable business for yourself., and keep more money in your bank account. CDL Jobs are exciting. Visit our trucking company website for information about the CDL Jobs we have open.

Foods That Will Help You Sleep

BIGrigdave , Wellness 1 Comment

healthy eating for truck drivers banana

Trucking Jobs keep drivers on a busy schedule that can sometimes be unpredictable. That schedule can sometimes leave a driver wide awake during his or her rest time. This is a list of foods a truck drivers can eat that will help them get rest when they need it.

A little back ground first. Just about everyone knows that they if they eat a big meal that is loaded with fats they will most likely need a nap shortly after. That is because meals like that are filled with foods that rank high on the Glycemic Index. They are however, not recommended for individuals that are watching what they eat or for those with diabetes. Instead this list covers healthy foods that can induce sleep.

Eat these four healthy foods to induce sleep:

  1. Cherries fresh or dried.
    1. Cherries contain melatonin which helps the body regulate sleep.
  2. Small amount of warm milk.
    1. A small glass of milk is loaded with tryptophan. A small portion will help promote sleep.
  3. Whole wheat toast or English muffin.
    1. A small serving will speed up the body’s release of tryptophan and serotonin.
  4. Bananas
    1. Potassium and magnesium are natural muscle relaxants, and bananas are a good source of both.

This is a list of foods that should be available at truck stops or Walmart stores across the country. When you’re an over the road truck driver getting good rest is one of the keys to being a safe truck driver. When it is time to rest eating these foods before bed can help you get the sleep you need.
