Transflo and ATI Merge to Revolutionize FreightTech and Fleet Management Solutions

The trucking industry has seen its share of transformations over the years. Often, the phrase “Next Generation” in trucking is used to describe advancements in technology, but what we tend to overlook is the upcoming generation of truck drivers. There is growing concern about how to sustain the industry as experienced drivers retire. Our experts weigh in on what fleets can do to attract new hires, and how the industry can shift to gain excitement in a new era of professional drivers. If you have paid attention to the headlines within transportation, there is a debate on whether there is or is not a current driver shortage. The key word in that sentence is “current”. The market for today’s professional drivers is vastly different from what it was a few years ago and will be much different in the future. The need to embrace tomorrow’s drivers is a very real challenge that must be addressed sooner rather than later. But why? The gap – no, not the clothing store. The widening delta between our experienced drivers and those who are following behind them to receive the proverbial torch that will be passed. There is a growing concern that there are not enough younger drivers entering the workforce to replace the drivers who are beginning to retire from the industry. According to a demographic breakdown, the average age of a commercial truck driver is 47 years old, which has slightly increased from years prior. At face value, this does not come as too much of a surprise. However, when you look at the breakdown of age ranges further in that report, over 70% of all commercial drivers are above the age of 40.
