Caterpillar Inc., a heavy equipment and diesel engine maker, has said it will cut hours in half for 985 workers at its Lafayette, IN plant beginning in August. This work reduction is the second announced so far this month and the third in two months, and in addition to layoffs that were announced in March. This is just Caterpillar’s way of positioning the company to be successful after these tough economic times subside.

But for the workers who need to make up that missed income, there aren’t a lot of choices. Many companies have stopped hiring, which means there are fewer jobs available. This is not true for the trucking industry. Driver Solutions and their network of trucking companies are currently training and hiring inexperienced truck drivers. With the program offered by the Driver Solutions Network, you could be trained and working in about a month!
