2020 & The Trucking Industry 

Mr. Bailey, Director, shared his thoughts "The outlook is good even though there has been a lot of changes in the trucking industry. Major carriers have closed their doors and others have encountered mergers. The outlook, overall, is still promising for entry level drivers and seasoned drivers because even with the closings and mergers there are still demands for the products that truckers haul daily throughout the United States. I challenge you, the reader, to go look for something in your home that did not get hauled in a truck. This industry is important to the American way of life."

Lead Instructor, Mr. Braziel, elaborated on it being an election year. "When I used to drive and even in dispatch, people would always be more hesitant during an election year until they knew the outcome."  Instructor, Mr. Reese, thinks the outlook for 2020 is very good. "They (carriers) are still short on drivers. Business seems to still be going up in this great economy we are enjoying currently. Commerce is up which means more freight for drivers; along with the need for drivers keep increasing due to people buying so much online. So, I think its a good time to be a trucker".
