Top Trucking Jobs

If you’ve made the choice to become a truck driver, you’ll end up driving with a company trainer for a while. There are plenty of articles discussing what you can expect from the viewpoint of a trainee, but what about the trainer? I was a driver trainer for a large refrigerated carrier and would like to tell you what training is like from a trainer’s perspective. I hope this article helps shed some light on what trainers go through so that you can better understand why trainers do the things they do or say the things they say.

It’s Stressful
Chances are, you’ll be nervous about meeting your trainer. For the next 3 to 6 weeks (or longer), you’ll have to share a tiny little space with a total stranger nearly 24hrs per day and 7 days per week. Well, guess what? Trainers feel nervous about it, too!

Sure, trainers sign up for it and do it voluntarily, usually for some additional pay, but there is still a ton of stress involved when first starting out. On top of that, trainers are expected to ride around with a brand new CDL holder. Most trainees have absolutely no truck driving experience other than what their CDL school taught them. The only way trainers can control the situation is to use their voice. It’s a very helpless feeling seeing a curve coming up too quickly or noticing the trailer is about to take out a pole with zero control over the situation. To make matters worse, many trainees are either too nervous to take in everything they are told, or flat out don’t listen to advice. That only increases the anxiety levels.

Lack Of Sleep
A controversial issue within driver training is the fact that most companies operate training trucks as team dispatched trucks. Meaning, after the first week or so, the trainee drives while the trainer sleep and vice-versa. Do you know what it’s like to try and sleep while a brand new driver is cruisin’ along the expressway at 65mph? It’s terrifying! Any jerk of the wheel, curve, strange noise, or application of the brakes will jolt your trainer awake. This only adds to the stress for your trainer. It’s extremely difficult to get quality sleep in that type of environment because trainers usually aren’t ever in a deep sleep. They are one step below sleeping with one eye open!

Pressure Buildup
It’s fairly common for trainees to complain about their trainer “yelling and screaming for no reason.” I don’t condone trainers yelling and screaming unless it’s an immediate emergency. But there is a very good reason this happens. Trainers are in constant stress and fear. Their job is not only to teach you how to become a safe and efficient truck driver, but they are also responsible for keeping you safe, keeping themselves safe, and keeping the motoring public safe. Combine that with the lack of quality sleep and a possible personality clash and it’s a perfect setup for a trainer to temporarily lose his or her cool. That’s what we call a blowout. Imagine a balloon being blown up with more air every time a trainer feels stressed, but suppresses that stress. Eventually that balloon is going to pop. Whether your trainer has a blowout or not entirely depends upon your specific trainer and situations you both go through together. Chances are, he or she will not have a blowout. But if it happens, just move passed it. Don’t take it personal. Trainers build up a ton of stress and anxiety over the course of training and not all of them handle it perfectly all the time.

Inability To Communicate
The most frustrating thing for a trainer is the inability to communicate properly to a trainee. As a trainee, you’ll be forced to absorb a ton of information in a very short period of time. As a trainer, I had a very short period of time to teach things to my trainee. So it’s a double edged sword. While I didn’t expect my trainee to comprehend 100% of everything I said, after 3 or 4 times it would start to get frustrating having to repeat myself.

Taking It Personal
While I can’t speak for all trainers, I know that I took the success of my trainee very personal. I wanted nothing more than to see my trainee become a safe and happy truck driver. If my trainee were to get into an accident, quit, or get fired, I’d take personal responsibility for that. Even through the little arguments or personality conflicts that naturally comes with sharing such a tiny space, I never once wanted to see a student fail. The only thing I wanted was success and I took that very personally. Everything I did and everything I said was meant to further the success of my trainee. So remember, chances are, your trainer will be the same way. Even if you disagree on something, you and your trainer are interested in the same end result. Success.

Are you considering truck driver school?  It's officially the holiday season and we want to make sure you have all of the free CDL training information you need to be successful.

Driver Solutions has put together a quick list of some popular posts with advice and tips to help you with the process of becoming a truck driver. 

Check out these 3 resources below:

• The 9 Best Gift Ideas for Truck Drivers

Finding a truck driver school doesn't have to be hard with the help of Driver Solutions.  Getting the education and training you need to successfully start a new career is the first step toward finding some job stability.

As we all know,finding a stable job in today’s economy isn’t easy.  In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find an industry as stable as truck driving.  If you’re ready to bring home a steady paycheck, we invite you to get started by completing our secure online application.  Submitting your application will let you schedule a time to speak with a Driver Agent to discuss your trucking career options.

Most items get to their destination across America by tractor-trailers, so when things need transported it creates a need for trucks, which creates a need for drivers. There are currently estimated to be over 3 million truck drivers employed in the trucking industry, but with over 1 million trucking companies in the U.S., plus a continually growing economy, there will always be a need for professional truck drivers. 

With so many truck drivers moving freight across the country, there are sure to be some strange loads that drivers run into. We recently were so curious about this that we asked our Facebook page fans, “What’s the most unique load you've ever had to haul?”

Here are some of the responses we received:

“Hauled a load of junk TVs, computers, desks, and copy machines for the Verizon complex…” – Michael V.

“Full load of Styrofoam. Floor to ceiling, front to back. Had to get a forklift to push the doors together so I could close them. Total weight was almost 5000 lbs.” – Don D.

“Sail boat fuel.” – Ricky H.

“Precast concrete doors for a loony toons at home bomb shelter.” – Joseph N.

“The big top tent for a circus.” – DenRay

“I think it would have to be the load my Dad had one of these horrible three tiered salmon pink sock tables. Each one was about 45lbs. and most of the stores that were set to get one didn’t want it. Lol” – Cristal S.

“Hot wax that cooled off on me! Lol (what a mess…) now Crude oil!” – Desmond M.

“High altitude chocolate…from Hershey’s…packed in nitrogen containers…” – Ray V.

As you can tell, no matter how big, small, unique, or strange an item may be, it probably gets transported across the country by a truck for businesses and consumers.

Driver Solutions is aware of the dependence and high need for qualified truck drivers, which is why we help hopeful truckers get great CDL training. We understand that paying thousands of dollars for CDL training in hopes of finding an entry-level trucking job with a good company can create a lot of uncertainty and stress. To help reduce these feelings, Driver Solutions specializes in placing students in a paid CDL training program that covers the cost of tuition AND matches drivers with a job at respectable trucking company BEFORE they start school.

If you’re ready to help meet the need for drivers and get your career started, just complete the online application to set up a time to speak with a Driver Agent about your options.

Who knows what unique loads you might transport!

An aspiring truck driver recently mentioned Driver Solutions on the TruckingTruth Forum  by calling us “the Cadillac of truck driver training.”

For decades, the Cadillac has been synonymous with those that want the finer things in life. Cadillac has often been the first at making advancements in the auto industry, including developing the V8 engine, which set the standard for the American auto industry.

When you think of a Cadillac, words that probably come to mind may include “high quality,” “luxury,” “comfort,” “reliability,” “top of the line,” “innovative,” “superior” and “style.” So how is Driver Solutions like a Cadillac? Check out these 3 reasons why we think Driver Solutions can be compared to the Cadillac of truck driver training.

1. High Quality
Driver Solutions takes care of all of the hard work, including helping you afford truck driving school tuition and how to find a trucking job when you finish school. Driver Solutions will set you up to attend a top truck driver school for CDL training, which enables drivers to easily and quickly enter the trucking industry with significant advantages. The salary for truck drivers that start with one of the Driver Solutions network trucking companies are very competitive, so new drivers can earn up to $40,000 in their first year.

2. Reliable
Driver Solutions has been in business for over 23 years and has helped more than 20,000 drivers start a trucking career. Everyone that applies to our program is assigned to a Driver Agent that provides one-on-one support, walks you through the entire process, and gives you all of the details, upfront. The Driver Agents’ goal is to educate you on what trucking school will be like, so you will be properly prepared when you arrive.

3. Innovative
Students that attend trucking school with Driver Solutions get access to interactive pre-trip inspection videos, CDL practice tests, and other learning resources which will help them prepare for the CDL permit test before they even arrive at school.

When considering CDL training, attending trucking school during the holidays may seem like a hassle.  But, what many aspiring drivers don’t know is that attending school during the winter holidays can actually be one of the most beneficial times of year for new drivers.

Take a minute to check out these top 5 reasons to start trucking school during the holidays:

1. There are fewer people at school during the holidays, which means more time for you behind the wheel and more personalized time with a CDL instructor.
2. Most winter weather does not get too bad until January. There is always a chance of inclement weather through November and December, but your odds of avoiding the worst weather are better before January 1^st.
3. When bad weather hits, you may experience rain, sleet, and even snow, but at trucking school you’ll be with an experienced trainer that can help walk you through how to overcome these events.
4. The carriers’ freight is usually at peak demand at the end of the year, so job opportunities are usually better after training.
5. The sooner you start your training, the sooner you can start working in your new career as a professional truck driver!

Even though there are a lot of benefits with coming to trucking school during this time of year, we understand that with the holiday season finally here, you may think that being away from loved ones during the holidays is too tough for you to handle.  But keep in mind, after you finish your 3 weeks of CDL training, you’ll get experience under your belt driving in bad weather and covering a lot of miles. If you start trucking school this holiday season, by next summer you’ll have a high level of confidence in yourself and your trucking abilities.

Get a head start on your New Year’s goals by starting truck driving school now!

Driver Solutions values all of the drivers that go through our program, but on Veterans Day we especially want to say thank you to all of the veterans that are now truckers. Military members have long helped keep the country safe with their service, and now many of them are helping to keep the economy moving by driving a truck.

According to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, Veterans Day is set aside to thank and honor all those who served honorably in the military, both living and those that died from battle. The day is largely intended to thank living veterans for the sacrifice and duty they have given to the country.

While some military members may not have any large vehicle driving experience, a lot of veterans get a taste for truck driving when they learn how to drive big military vehicles. Unfortunately though, military driving licenses do not smoothly transfer to civilian CDL jobs. Both experienced and novice veterans need to go through a truck driver training program to receive a CDL and qualify for the top trucking jobs.

The great news is that many trucking companies like to hire veterans because of their extraordinary work ethic, discipline, and dedication. Companies know that military veterans are committed to service and are consistently able to follow through with orders. Plus, many veterans have already received basic training on map reading, how to keep accurate records and how to think quickly to respond to emergencies. All of these skills transfer almost seamlessly to a trucking career.

Are you a veteran that wants to learn more about trucking? Check out some of our past articles that highlight why truck driving is a great option for veterans:

• Truck Driving is a Veteran-Friendly Job Option
• Truck Driving Is A Rewarding Post-Military Career
• Retired Military Personnel and People Looking to Change Careers Enter the Trucking Industry

• Can you adjust to the truck driver lifestyle?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, you may be ready to start your truck driving career. But now you may be wondering, where can you find the CDL training you need AND job opportunities?

The best way to get into the trucking industry is to take advantage of company paid CDL training programs offered by different trucking companies. Standard tuition fee for a truck driver training school is between $4,000 and $6,000. Spending this much even before you start earning is impractical, especially in today's financial environment.

There are numerous trucking companies that offer CDL training. When looking for one, you have to consider 2 things: 

1. The quality of training you will receive
2. The company sponsoring your training

Getting company paid CDL training doesn't mean you have to settle for a low quality training program.  In fact, it's quite the opposite because the company qualifying you for a job opportunity wants to know you're a qualified driver.  Keep in mind that it is your career at stake. Not getting the kind of training you need will keep you from successfully completing the professional driver's exam and enjoying a fruitful trucking career. Check school affiliations a trucking company has and find out what truckers are saying about the school. This way, you'll have an idea about the kind of program the school is offering its students.

Choosing the trucking company you'll get company paid training from is also important. Because you'll be in contract with that company for at least a year after training, you'll want to make sure you'll get valuable experience from a reputable company. This way, you'd have higher chances of getting better opportunities from top companies should you wish to look for a different company after your contract has ended.

In the past, there was a common belief that the use of mobile phones was the top reason for distracted driving during truck driving jobs. A recent report by the SmartDrive Distracted Driving Index (SDDI) revealed that for 2010, it came second to a new top reason for possible cause of road accidents or crashes.

The new number one is having an object in your hand while driving.

The SDDI used video cameras to record 34,466 truck drivers as they worked. The data showed that operating an mp3 player or even looking into some paperwork are high-risk distractions. Other causes for increased chances of road accidents are listed as follows:

44.5% Object in hand (PDAs, mp3 players, paperwork)
13.4% Talking on a handheld mobile phone
12.7% Beverage
10.1% Food
9.9% Smoking
9.1% Operating a handheld device
5.2% Talking/listening on a handsfree mobile phone
1% Map, Manifest or Navigation
0.6% Grooming/Personal hygiene

Responsible truck driving begins with disicpline. You learn this, among other things during your time at CDL training. The core values taught during time spent on basic driving skills and techniques are essential to mold you to become the best safe truck driver on the road.

If you're considering truck driving school, go ahead and complete our online driver application to get started.  Completing the application will allow you to schedule a time to speak with a Driver Agent about your trucking career options.

There are many benefits to starting a truck driving career.  Here are just 3 of the reasons that trucking companies with CDL training  are so appealing to those looking for a change:

1.  Good pay.  Of course, money is a huge factor when deciding to pursure a career path.  Once you complete truck driver training school you can possibly earn up to $40,000 in the first year.  In addition to your base income, you may also be eligible for performance related bonuses, company bonuses, benefits, and a higher salary as you continue to gain experience. 

2. Flexible hours and freedom.  For many people, there's nothing better than the freedom that comes with being on the open road behind the wheel of a big rig. You won’t have a cubicle stifling you or a boss breathing down your neck. Dispatcher, yes, but you still have freedom and flexible hours.

3. Job security.  Most trucking companies that offer CDL training will tell you truck driving provides some stability in your life that you may not have seen with other jobs.  If you make an effort to stay on top of your game, stay clean, keep a safe driving record, and, well, do your job - there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to continue to advance.  If you can do this, you will have a steady and successful career.

The U.S. Department of Labor also forsees a 9% increase in employement for truck driving up until 2018.  Factors such as retirement of existing truck drivers over the age of 55 years old and the tightening up of road safety rules are developing this higher demand for more qualified truck drivers.

Staying in communication with friends and family is an important part of life for most, especially those working a trucking job.  Being out on the road, truck drivers are typically away from home for extended periods of time so they are always looking for the best technology to help them keep in touch.  I've read several reports from truck drivers looking for the most reliable Bluetooth headset since using a phone is still the easiest, most effective way to keep in touch.  

But truck drivers have different needs when it comes to a Bluetooth headset.  They work in a loud environment and need something that does an excellent job of canceling out background noise.  They also need a headset that holds a charge for a long period of time. 

After reading reviews from many truck drivers, it looks like one of the most recommended Bluetooths is the Blue Parrot Headset.  While it appears you certainly aren’t going to win any fashion awards for this headset, the performance seems to be top notch.  You can read great reviews from numerous truck drivers right here on the Walmart.com website. 

Truck Drivers - We would love to have your recommendation for the best Bluetooth for the industry, so take a moment to leave a comment and let us know.

As further evidence of the trucking industry recovery being in full swing, the top truck-trailer manufacturer in the country, Wabash National, will be adding 200 new jobs to build fluid tankers.  These openings are in addition to the 400-500 new jobs that were announced by the president and CEO earlier in the month.  Go here to read the full article. 

"Any time you can produce good-paying jobs for the community, it really helps," president and CEO, Giromini said. "These are full-time positions, so you have some job security associated with them. These are guaranteed, manufacturing-level."

The rise in truck driver job openings is having a trickle down effect as companies like Wabash National will continue to hire additional staff in order to keep up with the demand. 

It's great to see articles like this one being published and certainly is a change of pace from what we saw a couple of years ago.
