As the number of truck drivers is decreasing, the quality of drivers is getting lower too. According to ATA’s study, nine of ten carriers are struggling to find drivers who meet DOT criteria.
“The ability to find enough qualified drivers is one of our industry’s biggest challenges”
ATA President and CEO Bill Graves
Obviously, truck managers can expect lowered drivers quality and increased driver’s wages. Except the money, fleet managers should go for younger drivers and female drivers as a potential workforce pool on the horizon.
One thing is certain, the lack of truck drivers is issue to be solved, and although some would claim otherwise, self driving trucks are still not the answer.
In the meantime ATA proposes the following solutions to address the shortage:
- Increase driver pay and offer sign-on bonuses.
- Offer more at-home time
- Lower the interstate driving age
- Improving driver images
- Cater to former military
- Better the treatment of drivers by companies in the supply chain
- Autonomous commercial trucks
