Thousands of big rig drivers needed
We have been hearing of shortages caused by widening cracks in the supply chain, and compounding that problem is a shortage of truckers in countries around the world.
The head of the American Trucking Association tells CNN the industry in the U.S. is short 80,000 drivers, a record high.
That represents a 30 percent increase from before the pandemic
Chris Spear says many drivers have retired or quit.
While President Biden ordered two major ports to work 24/7 to clear a backlog of shipping containers, there simply aren’t enough truck drivers to move the freight out
The Democrats are also working on a bill to lower the age for truckers from 21 to 18 so they can drive freight across state lines.
