Norfolk, VA, March 12, 2007 — The Employment Guide® (www.EmploymentGuide.com) is proud to announce the introduction of its transportation website, Careers In Gear (www.CareersInGear.com), which went live on February 14, 2007. The site will be officially introduced at this year’s 36th Annual Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS), held in Louisville, Kentucky, over March 22-24, 2007.
In addition to providing a recruitment destination, CareersInGear.com is an innovative business that includes resources for the trucking industry. The site includes the "Freight Finder" which is a free scrolling service to assist owner operators and others in finding truckloads for pick-up and drop-off at various locations nationwide. The site has also partnered with The Weather Channel (www.weather.com) to provide weather mapping software, as well as the Google search appliance for easy site navigation. Another distinct site feature is the feed of trucker news, which includes recent developments on working conditions, training and advancement, product launches, laws, and other useful information.
In addition to the website, CareersInGear.com will also be a quarterly publication covering five regions nationwide. The free print publications will be distributed in over 750 locations regionally and 3,600 nationally. Drivers will be able to pick-up this targeted publication in stores like Petro, Pilot, Loves, and Wal-Mart, as well as independent truck stops, restaurants and rest areas.
"CareersInGear.com is created for the industry, by the industry," said Chris Baker, Business Development Manager of CareersInGear.com. "After nine months research, we were able to provide a one-stop shop for trucker jobs, news, and resources specific to the industry. The quarterly publication will serve as a complement to our website, and will position it as an industry leader."
Jeff Littlejohn, Vice President/General Manager of The Employment Guide commented, "Although CareersInGear.com has been online for a little over a year, we listened to our clients and job seekers to design a more comprehensive website for the trucking and transportation industry. We feel that it is going to be very well received as a result, "
