Drivers' lack - USA - Trucking industry recruiting nontraditional drivers
BUFORD,Griffin,GA,USA -Gwinnett Daily Post, by Douglas Sams -12 Mar 2006: -- Throw out that threadbare stereotype of the beer-bellied, tobacco-chewing, good ol’ boy trucker. Meet 34-year-old William Orlando, a new generation long-hauler-in-training who needs the trucking industry as much as it needs him... Trucking companies want career-changers like Orlando because of a driver shortage that could rise to 111,000 by 2014, according to an industry study... Not even two weeks into his training, Orlando feels something his old profession failed to offer — stability. A company already offered him a job, but just in case he reconsiders they call him every night to make sure he knows how much they want him...
