Comments on: Truck Driving School 2009: Will The Poor Economy Still Offer Truck Driving Jobs For Students? http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/admin/2009/02/truck-driving-school-2009-will-the-poor-economy-still-offer-truck-driving-jobs-for-students Helping Those Who Are Considering A Career In The Truck Driving Industry Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:48:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Driver Ed http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/admin/2009/02/truck-driving-school-2009-will-the-poor-economy-still-offer-truck-driving-jobs-for-students/comment-page-1#comment-522 Driver Ed Sat, 21 Feb 2009 21:41:59 +0000 http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/?p=462#comment-522 Addendum and Correction to my previous entry: I apologize. It seems I mislabeled this site "The Truth About Trucking"! Please scratch that. The Trucking Truth is what I meant to say. Brett is involved in several websites (where does he find the time) and they are all excellent. My point is he does speak the truth. And that's what we all need to hear. Feel free to correct my previous entry, Brett. Addendum and Correction to my previous entry: I apologize. It seems I mislabeled this site “The Truth About Trucking”! Please scratch that.

I can rely on you to tell me exactly what is going on out there. So many people involved in the trucking industry blow smoke up your posterior when it comes to the status of hiring in the industry. It is refreshing to have someone shoot straight with you. To everyone out there who is considering being a trucker, stay tuned to this website. You know you can depend on Brett Aquila to let you know what's really going on. Even though he could shoot you a line of bull in order to sell more books, he doesn't do that. From the time I first discovered his no-nonsense website, I have noticed that when things are good, Brett tells you they are good. When things are tough, he tells you they are tough. If you are a trucker or want to be a trucker, this is the place to come for the Truth about Trucking. Even though I call myself Driver Ed, I am not yet a trucker. But I would like to be one. I have been looking into schools and like Brett, I am hopeful that things will get better soon. The trucking industry is the backbone of this country's economy. It has to get better. If it doesn't that means the entire economy is in complete collapse. Right now things aren't looking too good. And there are so many people out there looking for jobs now that the competition for trucking jobs is bound to be stiffer. Hopefully the economy will begin to improve and things will get better. I just want to thank Brett and The Truth About Trucking for being true to their name. It makes it so much easier for those of us who would like to be truckers to gauge the situation. In my case, I think I'll wait a few more months and see if things pick up. If it weren't for TruckingTruth I'd probably be driving blind when it comes to making the right decision. Thanks, Brett.

I think in today's economy it's a pretty safe bet that the trucking industry hasn't increased from a year ago so I'd say they mean from October to November which really means nothing. I'm sure the year-to-year freight tonnage figures are tragic right about now. It depends on if they’re talking from month-to-month or year-to-year freight increases.

I was just reading in the latest trucking magazines that the tonnage was up some in November(?) but not by much. Is this a good sign or just a shipping for the holidays thing? Next months magazines may show more info. Good info. I was just reading in the latest trucking magazines that the tonnage was up some in November(?) but not by much.
