Changing gears for trucking careers

Quote:
MALDEN, MO (KFVS) - In this challenging economy a lot of people are hitting the roads looking for work, but for one group, the roads are the work.
Many folks say it's the easiest way to avoid getting stuck in a rut, and as it turns out some job seekers seem to have found at least one career path that won't deadend anytime soon.
"You have to go where the money is," Marsha Creasy said.
For her, that means going to truck driving school and getting ready to hit the highway.
Creasy's been looking for a job since she was laid off last year, and says she finally found an industry that doesn't look like it will come to a screeching halt anytime soon.
"There's going to be a job trucking and hauling," she said.
She's not the only one who thinks so.
James Gandt found himself changing gears after spending 12 years in the maintenance business.

this is my "hometown" news station, I already commented to the report. The sales people from trucking schools are kind of like the snake charmers of yesteryear. Promise you the world.
