Private fleets are actively hiring drivers and increasing their vehicle counts, adapting to challenging market conditions by simplifying their pay models to attract more candidates: https://lnkd.in/e8t77hv8 According to The National Transportation Institute, these changes make the pay structures easier to understand and help better market their positions to prospective hires. This strategic hiring and fleet expansion come at a time when private and dedicated fleets are expected to see a wage increase of 2.5% to 5.5% this year. Additionally, shipment growth for private truck shipments is projected to outpace traditional truckload #FTL and less-than-truckload #LTL shipments, with volumes expected to reach over 5.3 billion tons. This growth in shipments and revenue is anticipated to occur faster in the private carrier sector compared to other modes.

🚚💸 Did you know that increasing truck driver pay by just 6% could make a significant difference in retaining them longer? A study has found that higher wages not only retain drivers but also save companies money in the long run. The impact of driver shortages is evident on long-haul routes, where low wages have historically been a concern. 📈 In 2018, drivers who stayed on the job earned 6% more than those who left, highlighting the financial benefits of investing in driver retention. With the driver shortage projected to hit a record high, it's crucial to address the underlying issues to ensure a stable workforce. 💼 The trucking industry's response to the challenges includes efforts to recruit and train more drivers, with a focus on increasing wages and improving working conditions. As the industry strives to navigate supply chain disruptions, enhancing driver pay emerges as a key strategy for long-term sustainability. 🛣️ Beyond financial incentives, there's a call to make the profession more inclusive and accessible to women, who currently represent only a small percentage of the driver workforce. Creating a supportive environment for all drivers is essential for the industry's growth and success. https://lnkd.in/e-KsGqdb
