Truck drivers are an essential part of keeping our supply chains moving. The continual increase in demand for goods means freight-hauling will remain a strong career opportunity. Your choice of a career depends on your lifestyle. Working as a long-haul truck driver may mean being away from home for long periods of time but can provide an opportunity to explore the country. Driving locally can provide a more regular schedule and more time for a family.
