America experiencing severe Trucker shortage
Check out this article from the Washington Post on the shortage of available truck drivers in America.
"The industry reports a growing labor shortage — 63,000 open positions this year... They say there may be closer to 100,000 truck driver openings."
It seems with so many openings, companies are willing to increase salaries, benefits, and provide big signing bonuses: "Recruiters who show up daily at TDDS are offering jobs that pay $60,000 to $70,000, with full benefits and a $4,000 signing bonus."
Now might be the best time in a long time to get into the transit & transportation industry!
What do you think?
Will, when the Gov regulates the heck out of the industry and there for makes it hard to make money. People won't want to work in the industry. Trucking has to be one of the the most regulated industries in the US. Outside of medical. When it comes to how to manage employees.
No I don’t have a CDL
Do you have CDL ????
I am Ali Fuad looking for a job I am a 37 year old truck driver. I am married and have two children. I am a Jordanian. I live in Jordan. I have 11 years of experience in driving heavyweight trucks and oil tankers. I offer this to your company.
Hmm how easy is it to get a CDL this could be a good opportunity
Yeah I'm not surprised driving trucks is hard work I have friends that leave after a year and their contract is up because they don't like being on the road anymore and they have to be away from home so much. They made good $$ tho
yeah it's true all companies are desperately looking for truckers to hire they're hiring felons and people with fresh CDLs just to get bodies in the trucks
And Mexican trucks roll in without all that regulation.
