Is Truck Driving Right For YOU?

We understand this can be a big, life-changing decision and our team of recruiters can help you decide if this is the right career for you.

Carter Trucks

ABSOLUTELY

  • You want to     drive for someone who puts their drivers and their drivers' families first
  • You always put     safety first and take pride in your work
  • You already     have your CDL but are looking for a better carrier with reliable hours
  • You love being     on the road and enjoy a change in routine every now and then
  • You don't have     children living at home and want to get on the road with your spouse, who     is a truck driver.
  • You don't have     your CDL, but are interested in employer-supported training programs (FYI     - Carter helps pay for training in Anderson, Indiana and Paragould,     Arkansas )

MAYBE

  • You're a family     man/woman and want a better income to meet your family's financial goals
  • You are tired     of your career and are looking for a change
  • You love     working on a team (ever heard of team driving? It's on the rise and you     actually earn more)
  • You like having     a solid support network (this depends on whether you drive independently     or for a high-quality carrier like Carter)
  • You are     self-motivated and enjoy working alone at times
  • You want     opportunities to earn more and advance by doing a good job

MAYBE NOT

  • You already     have your dream job and it's not in trucking (why are you reading this     blog?)
  • You are a     home-body and like sticking around town
  • You are really     into your routine and hate the idea of switching it up
  • You don't like     to drive (again, why are you reading this blog?)
  • You prefer     having a supervisor oversee and instruct you throughout your work day
  • You don't like     spending time by yourself or with only one other person

We understand this can be a big, life-changing decision and our team of recruiters can help you decide if this is the right career for you.
