Message:: [QUOTE="AModelCat, post: 5191199, member: 167097"]I'll have to disagree with you. A lot of those specialized areas are not something the average driver can just jump into. Take a read in the heavy haul forum. A lot of those guys have spent years getting the experience needed to do those jobs properly. Its not something the average person in their mid 20's can jump into with no experience. But like I said originally. With the volume of trucks on the road companies will now have to hire/contract out people to fuel and inspect the trucks en-route. Something like that is going to take around 15-30 minutes per truck. So basically you are eliminating 1 job but having to create another. Plus being this is new technology (which means its probably going to break down a lot) means the need for more technicians. Will job creation equal job loss? Probably not but since most drivers on here complain about making less than minimum wage and having to stay out for months at a time, this might work out better in their favour.[/QUOTE]
