Hey Truckers: Where Are The Jobs?

Used Peterbilt Truck for Sale: Click  for information

I cannot speak for every trucker or every fleet manager in the trucking industry. I can guess that what I am about to say is probably an opinion of a lot of truckers and fleet managers. I keep reading about statistic after statistic of economic improvement BUT I still ask this question:

Where are the jobs?

An unemployment rate that is dropping because people are being forced to work minimum wage jobs is NOT FOOLING ANYONE. Raw tonnage, wall street, executive opinions are pointless statistics if millions of Americans cannot find a job that pays enough to cover the most basic bills like food and mortgage.
