RICHLAND, Miss., Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In the trucking industry, experienced CDL drivers are witnessing a shift towards more competitive pay and benefits as companies actively seek these seasoned professionals.
Recent industry reports highlight a pressing issue: a severe shortage of truck drivers. According to the American Trucking Association, the shortage has reached critical levels, with over 78,000 truck drivers needed immediately and a staggering requirement for an additional 1.2 million drivers over the next decade to meet rising freight demands.
