Load Up the Truck: Announcing our Investment in TruckSmarter
Truck drivers form the backbone of the US supply chain. In fact, over 70% of all goods shipped in the US travel by truck. Yet there is a massive shortage of drivers — the American Trucking Association estimates a shortage of drivers to the tune of 80,000 today — that’s only set to get worse, setting up a ticking time bomb for the US economy as a whole. The vast majority of truckers in the US are owner-operators, and the job involves long hours behind the wheel, many days out of town, and challenges with making ends meet, given that drivers don’t have health care and have to pay for their own fuel and maintenance.
