TRUCKER AWARDED * USA: Jeffrey Langenhahn
* Pensilvania - A truck driver’s message: Safety delivers
Pittsburgh,PENN,USA -JOC, by William B. Cassidy -Sep 09, 2014: -- Those who don’t think truck driving is an important or worthwhile career should talk to Jeffrey Langenhahn. The Plover, Wisconsin truck driver has spent 28 years behind the wheel, the past 21 working for less-than-truckload carrier Con-way Freight... When he’s on the road, Langenhahn doesn’t feel like a cog in a machine, he feels like someone whose job makes a difference for his family, Con-way, shipper customers and the U.S. economy... Unfortunately, the job isn’t as fulfilling for many truck drivers. The inability of trucking companies to hire and keep enough drivers is now the leading check on the expansion of truck capacity in the U.S. and that threatens to run up transportation costs for shippers substantially if the U.S. economy and freight demand start to grow faster... Langenhahn’s experience on the road and at Con-way point to some approaches and attitudes that drivers, carriers and their customers should take note of if they truly want to get a chokehold on the driver shortage and attract more potential recruits to the industry... Langenhahn’s schedule and work life is very different from a long-haul truckload driver’s, but insistence on safety should transcend the type of trucking operation. Safety can be an important factor in attracting both experienced drivers and potential recruits to a trucking company and a trucking career, Langenhahn said...
