Part of attracting new people to the heavy-duty industry is making it more comfortable - easier access to tools, well-maintained shops and trucks and easier access to training. When I interviewed Ali Javidan at Range Energy, he explained how their company supports fleets and their drivers by providing resources to enhance confidence and comfort on the road. This is so important for driver retention and recruitment. How are you supporting your drivers?

It’s all about knowing the landscape and leveraging it. 💬🤔 Do you agree??
