    Tough times ahead for new recruits unfortunately mate, bet no one at the CDL school spoke of that though, and would of just focused on all the positives I suppose which is understandable from their point of view. The next year or so is looking like a recession will come generally a recession is defined by the economy contracting for a certain period of time to become official it has to continue for at least 2 quarters or about 6 months straight. First you need to determine what you prefer to haul, you've got reefer ( cold and frozen produce plus dry goods) Dry van ( dry goods only) Tanker ( Fuel, Fruit juice, water, and other liquids) Flat top, ( can be any kind of freight, but can also include hauling heavy equipment like Dozers, Loaders, Excavators, lots of chaining, ropes, and tarping to learn how to secure a load) Pneumatic ( generally different kinds of powdery substances, and grain, things like cement, sugar, flour etc. etc) Tippers and bottom dumpers ( Gravel, soil, and grain mostly) So lots of options there which means lots of companies that are available when the economies a booming, when its not, getting a job will be that much harder when your staring off. Your location can also affect the kind of opportunities available. You've found the right website to get good advice and some good suggestions on which companies to apply for a driving job. All the best future Truck driver. :cool:
