I have a cdl since I was 18 nearly 19 years now. Trucker shortage is over a quarter million drivers and it is no wonder; stagnit or lower wages over the last 30 years. They are thinning the pool of drivers even more in the name of safety. I understand it, but the truth of the matter is; something will give or break.
One of the reasons I made the decision to go on my own was because of all this. It is def a lifestyle choice I can tell you once the last of the baby boomers retire it is going to get intersting for sure. I know plenty of guys that cant or wont quit simply because they cant do to wages or they love the road. The pool of young drivers shrinks because that culture is no longer in the industry... And let's face it reucking is no longer glorified it is looked down on by outsiders.
They are creating rules and regs for safety's sake but are creating an envirnment that will not be functional intil the industry changes with the regulations. You cant keep pinning everything on the drivers; you chase away peoples with good work ethic and half of a brain and replace them with...
