WATCHING THE TRENDS




So much of life and business is about trends. Trends perpetuate strategy and anticipation. Trend by definition means, "Pattern of gradual change in a condition, output, or process, or an average or general tendency of a series of data points to move in a certain direction over time, represented by a line or curve on a graph."
There are people who specialize in analysis of TRENDS in society. Not to be too much of an optimistic but in my experience, Trends more times than not have served true. Think of any simple aspect of life- fashion, sports, politics, music; trends are sure to pass; If it were not for technological trending you might not have the phone that you have, in your pocket. (Just something to think about). I was doing some research on the CDL industry and I found an article in the Daily news from April 2009 which spoke to the economic scenarios of our country in recent times:

“One of the few groups that is mildly recession-proof is sales because it’s the one occupation where there’s actual revenue being generated for an individual firm,” Dalal says. “So firms that are trying to maintain a certain level of business are going to continue to recruit sales candidates and employees, so that they can try to keep afloat through the little burst bubble that we’re in.”
Training for a new job doesn’t have to mean going back to school either.
“We see a huge demand for truckers,” Dalal points out. “And this has been ongoing for five years and will continue. Trucking is still a major part of the national infrastructure. And there’s been a shortage of commercial driver license holders.”

Not only does it take persevearance and repetition, but assistance at times as well.
Assistance can come in many forms, but as you can see by the article, job training can be VERY HELPFUL. One place that has a proven track record is RED HOOK ON THE ROAD, with over 2000 trainess, and a 90% success rate trucking industry which is ahead of the curve, is at your disposal.

  1. Red Hook on the Road is a great opportunity for people to learn some vital skills which will aid in the enhancement and marketability; with the ups and downs of the job market it is imperative to be a part of "High Demand' sectors and without the Commercial Driving industry is on that list. The people at Red Hook on the Road take pride in their work, and services- that is priceless.

  2. The demand for CDL drivers is enormous... it is a recession proof industry. Red Hook on the Road has been a succesful training program that helped New Yorkers who are looking for better opportunities and even those that lost their job ( some in the financial sector) obtain their CDL and acquire secured driving jobs.

  3. Red Hook on the Road provides individuals with a unique opportunity to become self sufficient. Not only does the commercial driver's license provide you with an opportunity to work in an industry that CAN NEVER be outsourced, it also provides you with an opportunity to start your own business as an owner operator. The CDL is useful in any state you choose to move to. I think that some people fail to realize that possessing a commercial driver's license is equivalent to possessing a college degree and in some cases it can even be better. Consider how many people have come through Red Hook on the Road with a degree and are not working in their respective fields. Kudos to Red Hook on the Road for providing 16 years of community service. They have touched many lives including mine.
