Get Yourself – And America – Going In A Higher Gear

How America gets its goods has changed. How those goods get to Americans, hasn’t. 

Trucking still moves 72% of all goods in America. Even before the pandemic, Americans were buying goods much differently than they did a decade ago. From the weekly groceries to major appliances, everything once normally purchased at a store is available online. But no matter what you bought or how or where you bought it, chances are a trucker carried it most of the way to you. 

… But the pandemic hit the global supply chain hard, and bare shelves and high prices focused long-overdue attention on the workforce challenges facing the trucking industry. According to the American Trucking Association, the U.S. is 80,000 truckers short of where it needs to be. Turnover in trucking routinely averages 90% and the average age of a trucker is 55 years old.

For those who see the opportunity during a time of crisis, there’s no better time to be in trucking. 2021 was the best year for trucking job growth since 1994 and truckers’ real wages grew this year, despite inflation. Recognizing trucking’s importance to America’s economy, bipartisan legislation at the Federal level is cutting red tape and creating new pathways into the profession. Just earlier this year the Department of Transportation began giving states the tools and funding – over $57 million – to expedite new commercial license issuances.
