Truck Driver shortage
Mike Schut, Vice-President of Human Resources, says the current Truck Driver shortage across North America is getting larger. “We have an aging demographic of Truck Drivers, and they are retiring, rightfully so. There are not enough Drivers coming into the industry.
“We encourage people who are interested in truck driving to talk to a truck driving school and get their license. Bulk Carriers offers on-the-job training.
“The school requires about 100 hours of training, and these hours can be done with our company and a trained coach. The intent is to have student drivers become permanent employees of Bulk Carriers once they complete the training and get their license.”
Trucking industry
“It’s a wonderful industry, and it’s a great career,” Mike says. “You get the opportunity to see the country, and your office window looks different every day.”
