Truck drivers are an essential part of keeping our supply chains moving. The continual increase in demand for goods means freight-hauling will remain a strong career opportunity.
Your choice of a career depends on your lifestyle. Working as a long-haul truck driver may mean being away from home for long periods of time but can provide an opportunity to explore the country. Driving locally can provide a more regular schedule and more time for a family. Regardless of the path you choose, Butler Tech’s CDL Pathway means you could be behind the wheel and earning a great paycheck in as little as five weeks.
