Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

WKYC.com Cleveland ran a great story about a man who recently choose a truck job as his new career path. The beginning of the article told a a depressing tale of a man applying for 327 jobs and not being able to find a job.

Then he found a truck driving job. His training for the school he is attending will last 4 weeks. Then he will be ready to find employment.

Truck driving jobs have become a new career path for many individuals who were laid off from previous professions.

How is this for the job outlook!

According to the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, there is going to be up to 350 annual job openings in he next five to seven years for truck drivers in the Cleveland, Mentor and Elyria areas. That is an estimate for just 3 cities. That would put the national number somewhere around 350,000 job openings annualy if the number held up across the board.

for fund-raising company Market Day and a truck-driving instructor for
Mega Driving School (6105 W Belmont Ave, 773-804-0500).

Transportation drug test and physical, a valid Illinois driver’s
license for light trucks and a commercial driver’s license for heavier
loads
Starting salary $29,653 (heavy and tractor trailer), $18,851 (light/delivery services)
Pros
“You don’t have a boss hovering over you,” Boik says. “You’re
independent out there.” And the trucker’s hat will be the real deal.
Cons
“There’s long hours and you’re away from home a lot,” Boik says. “It’s
a major responsibility to drive a truck that’s 26,000 pounds empty,
because you not only can hurt someone, you can kill someone.”

The article makes it obvious that trucking is not just for men anymore. The article interviewed an unemployed woman who had enrolled in ProDrive Trucking School. Her name is Kelly Lovering, 27, of Portsmouth, is one of two women enrolled in the latest trucking class at ProDrive Trucking School. She enrolled looking for a career change after being laid-off.

“I used to work for the Department of Corrections. I got laid-off in January, so I searched for six months to find a job and couldn’t find anything. So, I was like, ‘Well, I’ll do something different.’ So, I decided to come take lessons and learn to drive a truck,” she said.

Lovering is halfway through the her course. Trucking is almost a recession-proof job. For lovering she has a lot to look forward to. According to the article she has just four to six weeks of training, and after that she is done and should yield a starting salary of $40,000 a year.

The article grabbed our attention because it brough up the issue of aware ness. Not everyone knows that with a few months of traii9ng you can have a great career.
