The Supply Chain Industry Is Short of 80,000 Drivers

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/26/2021 -- Truck drivers are vital to a healthy supply chain, something that has been brought into sharp focus by recent crises. Although there has been a shortage of drivers for some time, in recent years this has become more acute as many older drivers have retired and the often-stressful conditions of truck driving have pushed others out of the profession. American Trucking Associations estimates that the industry is short of drivers by around 80,000. This is already a record figure but could potentially double by 2030 as more and more people make their way out of the sector. Recent supply chain problems in the US haven't solely been caused by talent shortages but they have certainly contributed. The result for many consumers has been increased prices, as well as many empty shelves and there has been a general slowing of growth. Tackling the problem is going to be vital to ensuring a healthy supply chain for the future.
