Some truck drivers have reached the million milestone with a few dings on their record such as speeding tickets and accidents, but then there are those who have gone to one million and beyond without a single infraction. It’s good to start out shooting for a clean record, but it is also important not to get discouraged. Accidents happen and sometimes you just can’t avoid getting a ticket, but don’t let that stop you.

The million milestone is a big achievement that can be reached by anyone willing to give it their all. Dedication is one of the most important aspects of a truck driving job. You have to be committed to your job and willing to work hard. And when it comes to reaching your millionth mile, you need to remember that it doesn’t happen overnight.
For those who have reached one million miles, truck driving is a career. They make their bread and butter by driving hard and planning ahead. They don’t sweat the small stuff and acknowledge the fact that some things are simply out of their control. By staying on top of maintenance duties, and remembering the little things such as belts and fluid levels, some truck drivers even reach their miles in one truck, using one engine.

Reaching one million miles is not impossible. Every truck driver who has done it started at 0 and moved their way up. Simply keep believing and don’t get discouraged. Being a truck driver is a rewarding experience and, if you are dedicated enough, reaching one million miles can be in your future.

The Toronto Star believes this new development is to steer away from high expenditures including employee cuts and insurance.  They also made mention that 10 years ago, non-temporary jobs were 68% of all Canadian employment.  Now, it’s 63%.  This shows the shift of permanent to temporary jobs.

On a positive note for people wanting to be a Truck Driver, it may be a good field in the “New Normal.”  There are plenty of jobs available for those wanting to be a truck driver in this new phenomenon. Most truck driving  companies are hiring.

The Toronto Star’s article,  “Job insecurity: the corrosive new normal” believes that more and more permanent jobs will be outsourced to contractors and part time employee will replace the full time employee so companies can stay competitive in this global economy.  They also believe that this is the new work force from this time forth.

A lot of economists out there also agree with the Toronto Star’s article. Companies can certainly save a ton of money when use temporary workers to fill truck driving jobs.  Another draw back to this practice is that temporary employees may view a position as short term and not fully commit to the position they were hired for.

Again, Truck Driving Companies always need drivers.  CR England is one company that is looking for truck drivers.  If you are someone who is a temporary worker wanting permanent work or is unhappy in your current job, contact CR England at www.crengland.com.

And to push the truck driving employment higher, AOL news reported back in December of 2009 that President Obama has a proposal package for new spending on highway, bridge, and infrastructure projects.  More Truck Driving jobs will be created to move equipment and building materials to the work sites.  This is very good news for the trucking industry.

Truck Driving jobs are a necessity for moving food and product from the warehouse to the store, making trucking a very vital part of the economic growth of the United States.  In fact, 78% of all food and product is shipped by truckers across the country.  With that piece of information, it gives us the realization that there will be truck driver jobs for a very long time.
