The Public Relations industry is dead!!! I’ve been applying, networking, calling, and writing for months and no one is hiring or at least not interested in hiring me. The more time I spend out of the industry the less attractive I get to potential employers. This industry is all about who you know and I obviously don’t know anybody who can influence my career. So, I’m thinking about making a 180 degree career change into trucking or logistics management. This seems like a viable industry to get into since everyone is buying everything online now. Some of the big companies like Melton offer truck driving training courses, kinda like earn as you learn, which would be great but do they train for the CDL licensing test with DMV? I picked up the study guide to learn the theory but I need to get the hands on experience so I can pass the test. Has anyone earned their CDL via company training? If so, is that a good option or would you recommend going with a truck driving school? Suggestions are appreciated, Thanks.

Is there a better earning potential if I own my truck? I’m an active CDL licensed driver thinking about getting into the trucking industry as a contractor or self employed operator. How difficult is it to find contracting opportunities with distributors? I’m concerned about making such a big investment upfront with little to no employment guarantees. Is partnering with a big outfit like Melton a realistic endeavor? Please respond or send me a message if you have any helpful info to share.
