Why you cannot find a trucking jobWhy you cannot find a trucking job. Trucking companies are once again hiring (its about time). You can hear them advertising more om XM/Sirius Radio. You see more ads in trucking magazines and you hear and see more on TV/radio. Trucking companies across the country are reporting that their classes are booked up. By why is it if trucking companies are hiring they are not hiring you. There are many reason for this here are a few. Trucking companies are only hiring "qualified drivers". What exactly does this mean. It means there are still a lot of layed off drivers out there who are coming back to work. But most companies are still being picky about who they hire. They can still take the pick of the litter. If you have a bad Dac report, too many tickets or a felony conviction in your past they will most likely pass over you an pick someone who does not have the problems listed above. They may even chose a new driver out of school over you. But this can only last so long until all the "Qualified Driver" are hired. They will go back to relaxing the qualifications for who they hire. Its only a matter of time until there is once again a drivers shortage. Here are a few things you can do now to help you in the future to find a trucking job.
