Why Trucking?
Employment prospects
This is a $67 billion industry. Almost everything shipped spends time in a tractor-trailer or large truck. Whether it is gas, groceries or office supplies, they all arrive at their destination by a truck. Shipping companies, with an aging workforce, are always looking for qualified drivers, which is why they turn to Humber College. This is a secure field with high-paying jobs for hard-working individuals.
Variety of careers
A start in trucking means you have career options. You can work as a fleet manager, driver trainer, operations manager, logistics coordinator, safety and loss prevention manager, transportation analyst, dispatcher, maintenance manager and more.
Changing industry
The conditions for drivers have improved. Tractor-trailers now have roomy beds, TVs, microwaves and computers. Many companies have refreshment depots for drivers spread out across the country, with gyms, rest areas, showers, cafeterias and lounges.
The lifestyle
Do you want to be paid to see new places and meet interesting people? Do you want a flexible work schedule? As you gain experience, you have more of a say in your schedule. You can work short-haul and be home each night, or long-haul and explore the country. There are many options, since this is a field looking for people.
