There's definitely a trucker shortage. From what I understand, younger people aren't getting into trucking and the majority of truckers are older.
The federal rules instituted some time back (5-10 years ago or whenever) drove a lot of truckers away (no pun intended). There are strict rules about driving time in a 24 hour period that often end up being nonsensical. Trucks have some sort of electronic system that tracks their drive time and won't let them drive until enough time has passed.
Yep. Likely a good chunk of the older population retired early due to the china virus and all of the general unrest that went on starting in 2019. Also the crippling side effects of paying people to stay home on unemployment didn't help.
When you can make big money doing stupid shit on tik tok or playing video games on twitch or YouTube we think the youth is going to want to actually work a living? Social Media and platforms like YouTube, twitch, and Tik Tok are going to destroy this country if it already hasn't happened. I currently have my CDL as well but I'm just sitting on it currently.
