There is a crisis in America that gets bigger every day. As the baby boom generation gets older, fewer and fewer workers from that generation are available to drive the trucks that move almost all of the products we consume every day.

For that reason, the American Trucking Association is conducting a wide ranging and diverse hunt for new drivers. Lost a job recently to downsizing? Crave getting out of that Dilbert cube you work in? Maybe you are just home from the Middle East and want out of the Army. Trucking could be for you.

Supply chain demand is way up, and drivers are hard to find. That means premium opportunity for those who want to try their hand at the open road.

The ATA says there are 20,000 openings now for drivers. In 7 years time, in 2014 that figure jumps to over 110,000 jobs.
