New Year, New Job – Why to Join the PTP Transport Team
A new year is fresh, exciting and full of possibilities. As the holiday season winds down and hiring managers head back to work, it can be a great time to look for a new job in the trucking industry.
Companies tend to hire most often in January and February, usually because new hiring budgets go into effect at the beginning of a new year. Indeed offers great information about the best time of year to look for a new job, and how to keep your resume ready for new opportunities.
Trucking Continues to Be in High Demand
Truck drivers have always been considered essential workers, and jobs are needed now more than ever. The pandemic shifted consumer purchasing trends, causing supply chain and logistics issues that additional truck drivers could help alleviate in some cases.
Because trucking has been in the national spotlight over the past couple of years, challenges that truck drivers face have become more prominent. To combat some of these challenges, like training, wages and infrastructure, the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was recently signed into law. Plus, truck drivers have been expressing their needs to encourage change within their companies, and have been seeing positive, employee-centric results.
What to Look for in a Truck Driving Job
It can be challenging to navigate finding the right truck driving job for you and your lifestyle. According to Trucker, drivers want to be treated with respect, included as members of a team, given responsibility and offered more opportunities to spend time with loved ones. If your current company doesn’t offer this type of work environment, it might be time to begin searching for a position within an organization that emphasizes each of these areas.
