At an ATA Management Conference and Exhibition panel discussion, chief economist Bob Costello said: “As a result, nearly three-quarters of those we surveyed plan to increase pay or have already done so” ... The industry needs to find an average of roughly 96,000 new drivers annually to keep pace with demand. If freight demand grows as it is projected to, the driver shortage could balloon to nearly 240,000 drivers by 2022, according to ATA data...
* Michael Gower comment
October 22, 2013: "WOW, an increase in driver pay, will it be 1% or 2%. What ever will a driver do with all the new found prosperity... Try about a 10% increase as a start with a daily "guarantee" in wages. Then watch your mythical driver shortage disapear."
