The Importance of Truck Driving During COVID-19

Trucking is Essential

The 2020 coronavirus pandemic and resulting closings, consumer worry, and surge in demand have highlighted how crucial the trucking industry is for not only the economy but the survival of the nation.

The transportation industry is more than just an “essential” industry; it is the backbone of our country.

The Surge in Demand for Truck Drivers

Transportation companies around the United States are looking for qualified men and women who are ready to keep the supply chain running. In an industry where the demand for drivers was already at an all-time high, the COVID-19 outbreak has placed an even greater urgency in finding CDL drivers for local, regional, and long-haul routes.

This is an amazing school, with top notch instructors. During my time there, I learned from all of the instructors and they each had different things to teach and add to the training.
