There is no question that the trucker shortage within heavy duty trucking is due to a variety of factors, especially in light of rising inflation and gas prices. With about 1.1 million truck driving positions needing to be filled within the next 10 years, and average turnover rate of 90%, the driver shortage could be a true concern.
