The trucking industry powers our country. Without it, shelves would be empty and we wouldn’t have access to nearly anything we need or use on a regular basis.
It is clear truck drivers are important. Aside from the driver shortage already plaguing the industry, another major concern is the high turnover rate. At around a 90% turnover rate for large fleets, it is one of the highest rates in the country.
Generally speaking, people often associate turnover with leaving the industry. When it comes to truck driving, however, that’s not the case. In a majority of cases, turnover in the trucking industry means switching companies. The kicker to all of that- in 2021, carriers lost about one new driver for every twenty they hired IN THE FIRST SEVEN DAYS.
