The hard part is getting a job in the industry. It's not that carriers don't want the ladies, it's the lack of trainers that want to help. Ladies make up less than 5 percent of truck drivers in the country. Not many men want to train a woman. For reasons that are obvious. Sexual harassment allegations tend to scare most men away from sharing a semi-cab with the opposite sex. Not to mention, most men are married and have a lady of their own at home. The wives also give residence to their husbands spending 24/7 with a strange woman in the truck. It's just not going to happen. So what is a solution? How can this issue be fixed.

Trucking Jobs Are Looking Pretty Grim Oct 01, 2023

Show notes

Trucking Jobs Are Looking Grim. Don't quit your day job because it's not ;looking good in the trucking industry. Tune into this weeks TalkCDL Trucking podcast and hear how jobs are getting scarce in the industry. Troy did a quit poll across Craigslist and what he found was scary. This time last year there was hundreds of jobs in each city daily, now the average posting is 10 to 40 jobs per city per day. If you have a job that is providing you with freight to haul, stay there until the economy bounces back. As Troy said, it's all about survival right now and the carrier that has contracts or creates their own freight, is a winner.
