DRIVERS WANTED

Using Data to Understand the Commercial Truck Driver Shortage

Download the Report



IS THE US LOGISTICS INDUSTRY FACING A DIRE SHORTAGE OF COMMERCIAL TRUCK DRIVERS?

Truckload brokerage experts and logistics journalists have been going back and
forth on the question for years.

Dive in


ABOUT THIS REPORT




Drivers are indispensable to our lifestyle.

They keep food, clothes, medicine, books, gadgets, and almost anything else you
can name, on our shelves. Between 2019 and 2020 alone, there were over 14
million job postings for truck drivers. In other words, they are in extremely
high demand, and failure to meet this demand over the long term will have
widespread consequences.

This may be a uniquely important moment for investigating and defining the
potential trucking shortage.

The effects of the pandemic and accompanying response have been massive. Online
shopping and the consequent demand for delivery has skyrocketed, while service
industry jobs have vanished. Intuition suggests that trucking jobs would grow
enormously under these conditions—but to understand what has actually happened,
we need to bring data to bear.

In this report, we combine labor market data and on-the-ground insights of
logistics industry leaders.

We hope to paint a nuanced picture of the extent and shape of the commercial
trucking shortage, the complications introduced by the unique circumstances of
the past year, and the possible steps toward solutions that benefit truckers and
businesses alike.

TOP SHIPPING & LOGISTICS CHALLENGES BY BUSINESS SIZE

According to a Coyote Logistics research study, 30% of large carriers state that
“driver satisfaction and retention” is one of their top three challenges, while
another 28% state “recruiting new drivers” is as well.


TRUCKING OCCUPATIONS BY YEAR

In 2008, there was a noticeable dip in the number of jobs in the two occupations
that make up trucking: heavy & tractor trailer truck drivers, and light truck
drivers. And while the trend started to reverse itself around 2011, only in 2017
did trucking regain its 2005 peak.


TRUCKING UNIQUE JOB POSTINGS VS. AVG. HIRES

Moreover, over the past several years, there have been about six job postings
for every hire.


POSTINGS VS. HIRES FOR BLUE COLLAR OCCUPATIONS

To gauge how normal or abnormal this is, we need a point of comparison.
Blue-collar workers in aggregate should provide one: the broad labor pool
involved, workers with a high school diploma or less, is the same, and observing
them as a group should offset any particular industry’s idiosyncrasies. When we
look at blue-collar occupations as a group over the same period, we see
approximately one posting for every hire.


POSTINGS VS. HIRES, LIGHT TRUCKING

For light trucking, the difference between hires and postings is only 1 to 2.
Companies hiring light truck drivers are seeing significantly more success with
their efforts to hire than trucking in aggregate.


POSTINGS VS. HIRES, HEAVY AND TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK DRIVERS

But for heavy and tractor trailer truck driving, it’s actually 1 to 9. Companies
hiring long haul truckers are seeing low success rates when they post jobs, and
it’s their struggle to hire that largely accounts for trucking’s posting
dynamics.


WAREHOUSE POSTINGS VS. HIRES

When young people enter transportation and warehousing, they tend to do so on
the warehouse side. For most of the last four years, there have been about two
hires for every warehousing job posting. This indicates that employers are able
to fill these jobs via methods such as word-of-mouth referrals and local job
boards, and don’t rely as much on job postings. The warehousing comparison does
not only identify a more successful competitor for young talent. It also
suggests trucking’s challenges are not a function of the logistics sector as a
whole, but specific to trucking.
