PTAH - Five reasons why the trucking industry is preparing for growth

The trucking industry is poised for rapid growth in the coming years. There are a variety of reasons for this, but there are five key reasons that most experts point to. Here are the top five reasons that the trucking industry is preparing for major growth in the near future.


The Bounce Back of the Economy


1. The horrible worldwide recession that was experienced in the first decade of the 21st century is finally showing signs that it is nearing its end. There has been a steady upward rise in a number of factors that the experts use to keep an eye on the health of the economy, and this means that there will soon be a lot more capital floating around in the country. That means that many more goods will be produced and sold. These goods will need truck drivers to haul them around the country. Truckers will soon start to see an upswing in the number of job ads they find in the trucker classifieds.

2. A Shortage of Drivers
Even though there will soon be more jobs advertised in trucker classifieds, there will not be enough truck drivers to fill them. There is currently a shortage of qualified truck drivers in the country. This means that there will be steady growth for people who are looking to get into the trucking industry. It will also mean a rise in wages for experienced truck drivers who have proven their worth over the years.

3. Instructors Needed
Because of the forecasted economic growth, there will be a big demand in the coming years for experienced truck drivers to pass on their wisdom to a new generation of truckers. These will be good-paying positions that will offer job security and a good quality of life for truck drivers who wish to help educate the hordes of new drivers who will be entering the industry in the coming years.

4. Shrinking of Rail Services
Even while the experts are predicting a growth in the economy and a bright future for goods sold, the avenues to transport these goods are shrinking. There has been a major decline in the railroad industry over the last few decades, which means that the amount of goods being shipped by truck will continue to rise. Excellent opportunities for the growth of the trucking industry will keep coming as the railroad transportation options continue to shrink.

5. Growth of Roads
Another reason that the trucking industry will continue to grow over the coming years is the increase in the number of roads in the country. These added roads will allow more trucks than ever before to get around the country, allowing the trucking industry to increase its footprint.
