Truck Driver Shortage
The truck transportation industry in the U.S. is experiencing a national shortage of truck drivers that has become a limiting factor in the operations of many transportation companies.
The imbalance between the demand for and potential supply of truck drivers widens from 20,000 in 2004 to 45,000 in 2009 and then accelerates to 111,000 by 2014.
If job security is what you want, trucking is a choice field. The American Trucking Associations reports a serious shortage in some segments of the industry that could disrupt the US distribution system. It's not a shortage of freight or equipment; surprisingly, it's not enough men and women qualified to drive trucks.
