Want to jump into a second career? Are you deciding what driving school to attend? Are you debating on following in a family members\u2019 footsteps to become a professional truck driver? No one\u2019s path to trucking, or any career is linear. Everyone has their own story of why they chose a career in the transportation industry.<\/p>\n

At The Erb Group of Companies, we have drivers from all walks of life. A large portion of our driver workforce are in their 50s. However, we are seeing a new generation of drivers coming into the industry. Our workforce has seen several female drivers emerging, and millennials applying to job roles.<\/p>\n

Are you still on the fence and wondering if a career in trucking is right for you? We\u2019ve outlined five reasons why you may want to consider a career in trucking.<\/p>\n

Job Security<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a specialist in temperature-controlled transportation and logistics, we are in a unique position to always have shipment demands. There is always a need for perishable food items. They are and will always be in demand; meaning you are never without job security. Even during the pandemic, our drivers remained busy, still on the roads, delivering items throughout North America. Trucking also plays a vital role in the Canadian and U.S. economy. According to Transport Canada<\/a>, roughly 30,000 trucks cross the Canada-U.S. border every day, carrying an estimated $1 billion in goods.\u00a0In 2021, there were 324,200 truck drivers<\/a> in Canada, an increase from 300,000 drivers in 2020.<\/p>\n

Career Pathways<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For most truck drivers, this is a second career<\/a>. However, you can still move through the ranks or find roles that suit your preferences and lifestyle. As a current employee, you have access to job postings before they are listed externally. This allows you to have the first pick at applying for your next cool move.<\/p>\n

Community-driven<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Community and family-based values are embedded into our foundation. We don\u2019t always shout about our community involvement, but you won\u2019t go a week or month without hearing about The Erb Group of Companies pitching in to help. Our latest involvement includes driving mattresses donated by a local company to a community youth shelter. Food drives, sponsoring local playgrounds or celebrating females in the industry are few a few initiatives you can get involved with.<\/p>\n

Freedom and Independence<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Not a fan of the office cubicle? Truck driving is a great way to see our North American landscape. Our drivers like the independent lifestyle they get while on the road. If you want a real treat, our long-haul cross-border drivers get the amazing experience to see some pretty wicked sunsets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Flexible Schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Want to still be able to come home at night? You can become a Local Driver. Want to live a life on the road? You can find roles as a long-haul driver within Canada or cross-border. Let\u2019s drop a myth buster fact right now. Not all truck drivers are away from home for 2-3 weeks at a time. You have the flexibility to find a job opportunity and get the hours that suit your lifestyle. Speak with our recruiters or managers to learn about how you can push your career forward.<\/p>\n
