While the U.S. trucking industry isn’t experiencing the same upheaval as Canada, local advocates say the industry still faces huge challenges, many of which predate the pandemic.

“We survey our members every month on the driver situation,” said Matt Hart, executive director of the Illinois Trucking Association. “Except for the first couple months of the pandemic when many of our manufacturers were shut down, we’ve consistently heard over 90% of our trucking companies have a truck driver shortage.”

“It’s usually at a shipper or a receiver or a retail outlet. They’re not spending extended periods of time with folks. I think the proof is that we have been safely delivering the goods that Americans need throughout the pandemic,” Hart said.
