It is the end of the year and during this lull in freight movement, many truckers think about looking at the help wanted ads and employment opportunities to see if there is a better option out there. Better pay, more hometime, and a more regular schedule are some of the job features drivers are looking for.
Rooster and Justin had a great time with Erick Calderon, vice president of marketing & development at Trucking Unlimited, and Robert Logan, vice president of application development at TransForce talking about the current situation with driver training, hiring, retention, pay rates, and working conditions. With massive turnover rates and an aging workforce nearing retirement age, companies are not shying down from offering lucrative pay packages to attract the best and the brightest candidates.
