If you have a story or topic you would like me to share/discuss in this blog please feel free to stop by and share with me or email me at nick@carnestrucking.com The topic of this first blog will be, in my opinion the most important issue within the trucking industry. “THE DRIVER SHORTAGE”. Here are some staggering statistics. The average turnover rate for trucking companies large and small is 96% per year The ATA estimates the driver shortage in the U.S. at 40,000 drivers The average age of a working truck driver in the U.S. is 50 years old Less than 10% of Truck Drivers are women. Majority of Truck Drivers are only home 1-2 times per month for very short periods of time. The major question on everyone’s mind is. “How do we fix these problems”? Now, I can’t speak for the entire trucking industry. However, I can tell you what Carnes Trucking is doing about it and offer my humble opinions about how the rest of the industry can improve this situation.
