Growing Interest In Truck Driving School Fueled By Economy

Dallas, TX –As the economy stumbles closer towards recession, many in the American workforce are concerned more than ever with job security. Of the jobs available, being employed in a stable, resilient industry has never been more important. Manufacturing jobs are disappearing daily and thousands of people across the country are finding that they lack the necessary skills, education, and job training to land a successful, long-term career.

“Demand for newly trained truck drivers continues to grow,” said Driver Solutions director Chris Welch. Replacing the aging ‘Baby Boomer’ workforce is adding to the ongoing truck driver shortage. The shortage has forced trucking companies to be more creative with their recruiting efforts. “Today, trucking companies are offering attractive company-paid truck driver training programs and impressive pay scales.” The slowing economy has increased the interest in truck driving careers. “People realizing that they can get into a stable, well-paying career within a few weeks without spending thousands of dollars or years of their time on expensive college courses.”

Recent studies of several state job markets have further fueled the demand for programs such as Driver Solutions’ CDL training course. According to research conducted for the state of Indiana by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems, nearly 1 million Indiana residents alone need some form of job training or education to be able to earn a living wage. Similar studies conducted in other states have confirmed that as America’s workforce gets more technical, those without higher education or advanced training are finding it harder than ever before to earn a decent standard of living.
