Companies around the country are struggling to find professional truck drivers, and the driver shortage is only expected to get worse.

"We are losing more drivers than are entering the industry," said Centerline Drivers Managing Director Shane Keller, who has seen recent declines in his company.

"The challenges we're facing now, and I think what has really been amplified through the COVID pandemic, is there is a nationwide shortage of professional truck drivers," added Keller. Companies, like Centerline Drivers are now offering incentives like sign-on bonuses, and performance bonuses for safety and miles driven.

They should up the pay and benefits.

A company in Napa pays $30 an hour for hazmat

Hazmat drivers make good money.only problem is long hours

We were warning of this shit for years. Why can’t you do journalism anymore?

How do you know that?

Struggling maybe bc of the sh*t pay

I wonder why Not that hard to figure out if you report the news truthfully

need more immigrants to drive

We will continue to see this trend, not because of Covid but because older workers are retiring at record numbers and the younger generation doesn’t want to do these kinds of jobs.

Who cares? they all should be driving Teslas anyways

Um let's get back to trains.

My dad spent 25 years as a truck driver. Companies need to pay them waaaaaayyy more for their sacrifice. Truck drivers literally keep the US economy functioning.

It's not a driver shortage. Trucking companies are unwilling to pay OTR truckers fair wages for their time. People get in to trucking, and then leave quickly because they see how unfair it is. That's not shortage, that's churn, two different things.

There’s a few circling the beltway, but I wouldn’t recommend them, they get lost easily..

Simple demographics. GenX heading into retirement years. That leaves millennials and GenZ and to pick up the slack and……….LMFAO….drive trucks? Ahh My sides! 😂

A lot of drivers have moved on , competitive pay elsewhere and impending higher emissions control on their trucks have made it worse.

Apparently unemployed truckers are gathered in a thing called the PeoplesConvoy.

It’s called laziness

To many regulations and pay sucks!!!

Sounds like a great reason to focus on repairs to the spill ways and shipping lanes so we can reduce our dependence on trucks.

Y la compañía de pan Bimbo Bakeries USA tratándonos con la punta del pie.😡😡 aquí en Pico Rivera Ca

para que vean lo que valemos.

Too bad. Dot made this issue. Got drivers out there snorting, drinking, and whatever else, but Marijuana on weekends is enough to keep ppl from driving.

Expedite the autonomous trucks and get rid of the lazy and entitled drivers

Problem is everything goes up except driver pay which doesn’t make sense when business blame fuel prices but drivers are not getting Higher fuel surcharge.

Yeah, I really don't know what's happening. Getting my materials onsite takes forever these days and when you talk, they say you're ranting

Because they're driving in circles complaining...

Free Training is Available for That,As well as Woodworking, Welding,OSHA,I Was Taking a Cisco Systems Training Class,Then My Instagram account Exploded

How much does the position pay?

Blame it on freedom convoys who left their job responsibilities behind to protest.

This a lie why the news don’t search for the real reason gas is hella high and these brokers are not paying to match the increase of fuel as well to make a dame living

You Californian Drivers are the reason

Ya right i applied everywhere for a job there are plenty of signs they say we're hiring no one is calling me.

rtapia24 😂 always!

i don't think there are many professional truck drivers.. maybe lots of terrible driver- truck drivers

Don't worry they're working on autonomous driving big rigs anyways
