Skilled Drivers Needed 

Some of us are better drivers than others. I’m not talking about safe drivers or people who never get tickets, I’m talking about people who have a feel for the vehicle and the road and could drive racecars if given the chance. 

When I lived in the bay area of California, a friend and I would drive to Santa Cruz on the coast. It was about a 40-minute drive on a winding freeway that he would do in about 25 minutes. You probably think I was holding to the “Osh” bar praying for my life, but I wasn’t. He drove so well if felt totally safe. 

If this is you. If you are just a good driver, here are some jobs in Utah that don’t involve screaming fans and a checkered flag, and yet still pay you like you are winning races. Even better, most don’t involve a degree and the more experience, the higher the pay. 

Of course, it doesn't mean driving fast, just with skill.

Delivering gasoline and other hazardous chemicals requires a steady and dependable driver at the wheel. The danger of driving caustic chemicals will increase your pay if you are good at it.

Big construction machines need someone who knows what they are doing. The potential for disaster increases the need for a skilled operator. With experience and ability, you can get a high wage to move these giant machines. 

So, if you have a kid that tears around the neighborhood like a NASCAR driver and yet doesn’t scare the people on the sidewalks, they may do well at a driving career. Especially if they use their school text books to build jumps.
