Up one level- Driver Recruitment
- Nationwide, the trucking industry needs 20,000 long-haul drivers to keep up with freight demands, analysts say. If the shortage persists, the American Trucking Associations forecasts an 111,000 driver shortfall by 2014. Port carriers complain the deficit is hurting profits, slowing growth, turning away customers and leading to higher fees. They, along with the Virginia Maritime Association, want to stop the trend.
