Are You 50 and Just Got Laid Off? Drive Truck

I just read an article from Monster.com that suggested that those people that are middle-aged will be struggling harder than younger workers to find a job because younger employees have newer job expertise. They support their concerns with the fact that technology has evolved so quickly in the past decade or so. They went on to suggest that “auto manufacturing, publishing, retail and financial services” would probably not come back. So those middle aged unemployed from fields diminishing are really struggling to find jobs.

Truck driving school might be a solution for people looking for a job that is 45 years or older. The trucking field is hiring, even in high unemployment and all ages can apply. Some bigger trucking companies like CR England Trucking have schools where they train drivers and then automatically hire them for employment. Some people 50 years of age and on have it easier to drive trucks than their younger counterpart. Their families are older and there is more freedom. And some parents that have no children at home anymore have the opportunity to team together. Both husband and wife can go to truck driving school together and see the country with flexible hours.

At CR England Truck Driving School, they have school loans that would be slowly taken out of your paycheck once you start working at CR England Trucking Company. They take care of the cost of your transportation to the school and for your hotel room once you get to the school. The only thing you have to pay is for your own meals. And once you graduate, you have a job. That’s the best part.
