Default School or no school.

I'm due to begin trucking school on November 4th. Just wondering is it a good idea given this economic downturn and all.

i think ts the "other way around".....

meaning, with the high and getting higher unemployment rates, the trucking companies might be the ones getting "stuck with duds"...........

so you see, that works both ways...............

but yes, go to school, keep out of trouble, get your license, and pound the pavement for a job.

ATrucking is a great career to get into. WE always need good truck drivers. If you like driving, have a machanical ability that might be the career for you.
