Hauling Furniture
To add to the post I sent last week on investigating the different industries within the transportation industry lets take a look at the moving industry. Most people shy away from moving companies unless they are young, but someone in good shape may want investigate it more, especially a new driver. You can gain a lot of experience quickly and money can be made if you are professional and have good customer service skills. Usually to run long haul becoming an owner-operator is required to be with the van lines and you will most likely be paid by percentage. If you are interested in team driving there are many duties for a wife or partner to perform so working together may be an option. Your biggest downfall will be the workflow as the winter can be quite slow and summer very busy. My advice is to talk with an agent or the Van Lines directly to see if there is a fit for you.
Until next time,
Bruce
The industries within an industry
Have you ever thought about how many different industries there are within the broader transportation industry? Hundreds, if not thousands! All have different pay scales, mileages, etc and that can be further disected by companies, locations, etc. If you are starting out in the transportation industry you owe it to yourself to investigate the different areas and create career goals for yourself. Your family and your pocket book will appreciate it. More on this subject next Tuesday.
Talk to you then,

The Federal Government in the U.S. has new rules coming out for carriers beginning July 2010 and they expect it to put a lot of carriers in a dire situation. Of course a true professional driver would be up to date on the findings. If you need more information on CSA 2010 then click here and read on.

New truck drivers
Are you going into the transportation industry as maybe a second career or in search of a career with freedom. Before entering into any career you need to do some investigation to see if you fit well with the operations and lifestyle of that industry. Truck driving is a lifestyle change and you need to be ready for it. The industry can be a great place to be or your worst nightmare, it’s your choice. If you are looking at the transportation industry why not spend some time with quality people. KRTS Transportation holds carrier days every month for students and potential industry professionals to get an idea of what the companies may have to offer somone in the industry.
