In times of recession, any job is a good job. However, there are some jobs that people don’t think about which are very, very lucrative.Local truck driving jobs are a good example of overlooked job opportunities. How well do they pay? More than a travel agent’s or a computer technician’s salary.
A local truck driving job is a better option than a long haul truck driving job for a few reasons. Although a long hauler gets paid more, it is because of the risks and dangers they undertake. They are also away from their family for long periods of time and this may not be the life for you. Finding a local trucking job does not mean sitting around the house and going through newspapers. Granted, you will probably find a few jobs there but by the time you call, the job could have gone to someone else.
A better bet is to contact a few trucking companies and register your name with them. Actually “trucking companies” is a slightly misleading term as they are more like brokers than companies which actually own any trucks. Once you register with them, they will send out you name to their contacts. When a requirement presents itself, you will be called up. If you do your background well and register with a reputed trucking company, the jobs will keep coming at a steady flow.
To find a good company near you, use the internet to search for them. For example, if you live in search for “texas truck driving jobs” or “local truck driving jobstexas”.
