Obtaining a heavy vehicle licence can be of advantage to any person in search of a job. The advantages that may be on offer for people thinking about obtaining this kind of license and a job in the transport industry,may include-:
Good Pay
One can make a decent living being a truck driver. In the past there has been a growing shortage of truck drivers, generally the reason was that people tended to look down on this as job as not financially rewarding enough, but in real sense this job pays off well enough than even some white collar jobs.
More Job Opportunities
Shipments of goods from overseas has increased into every region of Australia, this is due to the ever expanding productivity levels of various economies of the world. This has increased the need for shipments to and from the ports, hence having a heavy vehicle license is pretty handy to any individual to have, not only to transport goods to and from the port, but also companies deem it necessary or a good business etiquette to transport the goods to the customer’s destination .This even creates more job opportunities for those who seem to have given up on a job hunt.
Truck driving may seem tiresome and some people may regard to it as not a good job and this has resulted to a decrease in the number of people getting into this sector, the good news is with a decrease in the supply of labour, the wages have tended to be raised to entice people into the industry, that’s from an economic point of view .
So it becomes an even more attractive venture for a lot of people looking for work, than waiting around to find a white collar job which may in the long run not happen. The declining number of people who are venturing into this sector is also facilitated by the increasing pressure of the government insisting on the need for college education as the only way to make a decent living ,hence more people tend to shy away from this sector .This clearly shows why it becomes easy to find a job truck driving.
Emotionally rewarding
It may seem like a difficult job, than any other e.g. those who work behind an office desk from morning to evening may deem it to be a very demanding job ,but looking to it from another angle ,having a heavy vehicle license may be gateway for those who love travelling .Heavy truck drivers are known to travel very long distances, So your able to travel as much or as little as you like depending on the job you go after. Truck drivers are responsible for keeping their own schedules and records unlike other jobs where one is always programmed to work under specific rules in the close watch of one’s supervisors, so you do not really get to enjoy what you do although you might think your are getting good pay from it.
In conclusion, truck driving can give you the freedom to explore the country at the same time one gets to make a very decent living from it that even some high levels of education cannot even guarantee.
