ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The current estimate from the American Trucking Associations (ATA) indicates a decreasing truck driver shortage of 64,000 in 2023 compared to 78,000 in 2022. However, this near-20% drop-off is expected to be short-lived. In an economic slowdown, freight transportation declines as consumer demand wanes. Conversely, if 2024 experiences a positive shift in economic growth, both consumer and freight requirements will surge, causing a projected record-high shortage of 82,000 truck drivers. Current driver demographics and growing freight demand could inflate the driver shortage to over 160,000 in the next decade. To keep pace with this trend, the trucking industry must hire roughly 1.2 million drivers in 10 years.(1) To accommodate this unprecedented demand, Roadmaster Drivers School, the leading Class A CDL (commercial driver's license) truck driver training program, has opened a new location in Louisville, Kentucky, and is holding a Grand Opening on October 26th at 11:00 a.m.

Key Points:

Ball notes, "A career in truck driving provides job stability along with competitive compensation and benefits.
We've trained over 100,000 men and women, and the industry is becoming more diverse, with equal pay across races and genders."
