Double Digit Job Growth Expected for Heavy Truck and Tractor Trailer Drivers

It really is a terrific time to be looking at tractor trailer driving schools. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that job growth for heavy truck and tractor trailer drivers will grow by 13 percent between 2008 and 2018.

"As the economy grows," the BLS says, "the demand for goods will increase, which will lead to more job opportunities. Because it is such a large occupation, 291,900 new jobs will be created over the 2008-18 period."

Also, the BLS adds, "[i]n addition to occupational growth, numerous job openings will occur as experienced drivers leave this large occupation to transfer to other fields of work, retire, or leave the labor force."
