Summary:

There are almost three million truck drivers in the United States today. In the past 30 years, there has been a constant demand for truck drivers. Most experts say there are never enough trained, experienced drivers to go around. As a truck driver, you can work for a trucking company or a wholesale or retail store. You can work for the government, or you can be in business for yourself, owning and operating your own rig. Trucks come in all shapes and sizes, large, medium and small, and some have special features, such as refrigeration. All of these types are used throughout the country.
