Operating a big rig is pretty profitable nowadays! Many businesses are expanding, requiring trucks to transport their goods and services. In fact, in recent news, a localized farming business, is trying something new! They’re taking their produce and transporting it door-to-door, in an effort to spread their “locally grown fruits and vegetables as salads or wraps….”
Both the government and private individuals are both lobbying for better work conditions and pay for rig operators. Due to a rig operator being murdered because he had no commercial parking to spend the night in, the rig operator’s widow convinced “U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko [to pass Jason’s Law, dedicatedly named after the dedicated rig operator which]… would provide $120 million in a program to address the shortage of parking for commercial vehicles.” Furthermore, “the law seeks to assist the construction of safe truck parking facilities and the construction of public parking facilities next to commercial truck stops and travel plazas.”
Jason’s Law isn’t the only law being pushed to help rig operators! Recently, “transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx… resubmitted to Congress his and the White House’s highway funding plan… [which would] provide $478 billion…” to rig operators. The potential law’s “driver pay reform… would require [rig operators] to be compensated for all on-duty hours not spent driving.”
So get on the fast track to future profits! Start your own self-made rig operator business. Just be aware that you will need insurance for the inevitable accidents that may occur here and there.
