truckdrivingschools will guarantee you a trucking job!

CR England truck driving schools guarantee students who pass their training course a job. Certainly not all truck driving schools can say that. Like most that attend truck driving schools, your probably looking for a truck driving job. If you don't attend a truck driving school that guarantees you a truck driving job most often you will end up at best with a school that offers guaranteed job placement.

Guaranteed job placement in this economy may just be a guarantee to place a pen and some applications in your hands. There is no doubt when your looking for work the promise of a job can sound like the answer to your problems, but I suggest you step back and mull over your options before making a final decision. Think about this, It is very hard to guarantee job placement when just about every reputable carrier out there has different hiring requirements and in current market conditions most are not even hiring. Think about that before you sign up for something that may just lead you back to the unemployment lines.

A truckdrivingschools that can guarantee you job, is a different story. You will know before you even show up if you have a job. For example at CR England Truck Driving Schools we pre-screen every student to make sure that when they pass the training process they are ready and eligible to work.

Trucking Company Vehicles To Pollute Less in Minnesota

In Minnesota on Friday, May 1, 2009 the state moved to the B-5 bio diesel mandate. The Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture Gene Hugoson told reporters at a news conference marking the B-5 milestone, "For state and national energy policy it is extremely important we move to less dependence on imported foreign oil." The B-5 bio diesel has a 5% soy additive content. That 5% is an increase from the former B-2 mandate where diesel fuel had a 2% additive content.  The trucking industry uses a substantial amount of diesel fuel so the mandate is a step toward a greener industry.

For clean air advocates this new mandate is definitely a breath of fresh air. In fact this mandate should provide enough of a reduction in pollution to create cleaner air. According to Kelly Marczak of the American Lung Association of Minnesota the higher the B-5 mandate for bio fuels could remove lung irritants and additional quantities of carcinogens from the air. Kelly was quoted saying "This action will prevent 139 tons of particulate pollution and 330,000 tons of life cycle carbon dioxide emissions from entering our air each year."

This is a remarkable reduction, and to put it into a real world example Kelly Marczak of the American Lung Association of Minnesota said that the reduction would amount to removing 55,000 passenger cars from roads, or planting 56,000 acres of pine tree forest.

This information is an excerpt of a great article written by John Croman of KARE 11 news in Minnesota. The original article also included interviews with the Minnesota trucking industry about their B-5 Bio diesel mandate. Articles like this are a great story for the future. Those looking for truck driving jobs or considering truck driving schools can believe firmly that the industry is taking steps toward an overall greener transportation industry.
