The Trucking Industry offers many great career paths and opportunities.  There are many different professional driving opportunities to meet your specific needs and wants.  Contrary to popular belief, most driving jobs have very high pay and get you home every night.  If you are adventurous and want to see America while getting paid a lot, there are great Over The Road (OTR) opportunities.  If you do not mind a little time away from home, there are also fantastic Regional opportunities with great employers and great benefits.

For professional drivers, the U.S. Trucking Industry offers very diverse career paths.  Should you decide to stay driving, you can select different routes, geographies and cargo types to haul if your circumstances and interests change.  You can even become an entrepreneur and own your own truck, or fleet of trucks.  If you want to transition out of driving, the choices are even broader.
