US report finds 40% of fleets currently dealing with driver shortage
www.chinatrucks.com: Forty percent of fleets are currently affected by a shortage of drivers and another 25% indicate they believe the shortage of good drivers will impact their ability to grow in the future, according to a report from CK Commercial Vehicle Research for its Q3 2011 Fleet Sentiment Report.
Of those reporting an immediate concern, three-quarters need drivers to fill current vacant seats, 63% say it is limiting their ability to add capacity and 42% are changing the way they deploy their fleet such as targeting more regional and local freight opportunities instead of long haul loads.
"Freight demand is good among the majority of fleets that report to us, but some could definitely haul more if they could find good drivers," said CKCVR founder Chris Kemmer. "Even for those that have a full complement of drivers now there is concern that this scarce resource will likely impact their future growth potential."
