As well, trucking companies are not treating truckers well. These are just part of the reasons why there is the truck driver shortage.
But, if in future trucking companies just try to put more effort in treating truckers as they deserve- with respect, then maybe the situation with truck driver shortage would significantly improve.
Moreover, trucking companies should improve in the future as well are the incentives. That way trucking companies can fight truck driver shortage.
But, the most dominant factor that can contribute to truck driver shortage reduction is the replacement of retiring truck drivers with new rookie hires.
Tip: The trucking industry will see truck driver shortage reduction only if trucking companies find a way to hire 890.000 truck drivers. That way the trucking industry will grow by 33%.
