On Friday, June 21, 2019, a tragedy happened. A man named Volodymyr Zhukovskyy was driving a truck, doing his job. He swerved to the other lane where a group of motorcyclists happened to be. They didn’t have time to get out of his way, and he killed seven of them.
The crash scene was one of the most horrific in New Hampshire’s history.
When police officers searched Volodymyr’s home, they found waxed packets of what they believe to be heroin. Had he used heroin on June 21?
Consider these facts!
- Volodymyr Zhukovskyy had a history of DUI’s. In fact, he’d most recently gotten one in May in Connecticut. Westfield Transport in Springfield, Massachusetts, the company he worked for, has been cited for 69 safety violations between February of 2018 and May of 2019.
- Why did this company scrape the bottom of the barrel to find its five drivers? There is a shortage of truck drivers in our country, and we need more truck drivers! Truck drivers are central to the backbone of our economy; they deliver almost everything we buy. Had Westfield Transport had better drivers to choose from, perhaps the fallen seven would still be alive today.
- Almost every truck we pass on the road has a sign begging for people to work for its company. But sadly, everyone wants to go to college and get student loans. Most of our youth want a more noble-sounding title than “truck driver”. Our nation’s youth don’t realize that the majority of truck drivers make an excellent salary and have excellent benefits. Also, truck drivers can pick their employer instead of waiting for an employer to hire them. Trucking companies also provide training, so drivers don’t have to pay back any student loans.
What I cannot comprehend is that every teenager is so eager to get his or her driver’s license, but few choose truck driving for a career. Yes, this job requires dedication, but so does every other job.
If you have dedication, enjoy driving, and want to save yourself
from student loan debt, please consider this career!
How about it, Graduates?
