A Fatter Paycheck. A More Exciting Life.

Class A Drivers at the Great American Trucking Show

Sizing Up the Truck Driver Challenge

“If you’ve got it, a trucker brought it.” – UNKNOWN

“Trucking is the key link in the production and distribution chain, and the foundation on which our prosperity is built.” – MICHAEL H. BELZER, SWEATSHOPS ON WHEELS

Truck drivers are the engine of the US economy. This is a call to all people who want to work hard, start a more exciting life, and get a much fatter paycheck.

The United States relies heavily on truck drivers, every day, to get the goods we need to sell and consume.

In a world of fading blue collar jobs, the trucking profession, especially long-haul driving, still provides great pay and steady employment for little training.  

But the career isn’t for everyone.

Being a “Knight of the Road” means spending much time away from home and, in many cases, making the truck your home.

That’s why the industry needs more truck drivers, and there is currently a shortage of over 70,000 truck drivers every year.

“The average age of a truck driver is 49, and many of them are now retiring. This, combined with a lack of qualified drivers and industry turnover, in general, has some projections showing a need for 100,000 drivers heading into in 2017.” – DRIVER SOLUTIONS

And this trucker shortage has now become a chronic issue.
