G.I. JOBS | FEBRUARY 2018 | GIJOBS.COM 32 32 INDUSTRY INTEL TRUCKING G.I. JOBS | FEBRUARY 2018 | GIJOBS.COM The trucking industry is the beating heart of America's economy – and you can get in on the action. BY ANDREA LOVAS WANT TO WORK IN AN INDUSTRY that never steps moving – literally? How about one with careers that have great benefits, tremendous earning potential, room to grow, and no higher- education requirement? If so, the trucking industry might just be for you. Though you might have heard differently, the truth is, America runs on trucks, not coffee! Without tractor- trailers – and their 3.5 million drivers – hauling freight all over the country, our economy would come to standstill. The men and women behind the wheel, as well as those working behind the scenes, collectively move a whopping 10.4 billion tons of freight every year. The entire country relies on the employees of this industry in one way or another. Plus, the ATA last year released a forecast stating, "The amount of goods hauled by trucks is projected to grow by more than 3 percent annually over the next five years." And the hiring execs at trucking companies are keen to hire vets like you.
