Life is scary enough as it is but when you are faced with waking up one morning with a message that your company is closing effective immediately, that’s just terrifying! How are you going to pay your bills? Feed your family? Provide a roof over their heads? Insurance? The list of worries just gets compounded and panic sets in. But then people say “Oh you’re a truck driver. You can find a job anywhere.” Well yeah that might be true but is it going to be a great job? In this industry, you know that if you bounce too much, it hurts your ability to get a great job. You’re seen as a job hopper and most don’t ask the reason why a job didn’t work out.
We sympathize with the employees of LTI Trucking Services, which has notably been making headlines because they have had to do just that: Shut their doors. This leaves about 250 drivers and a number of customers nationwide trying to scramble to figure out what to do. Read about it in this recent FreightWaves article.
