Trucking as a profession is changing fast. Although the concept of telematics has been around for a while, technologies surrounding it have been prohibitively expensive for smaller carriers. This has lead to the vast majority of trucking industry being slow to adopt new technologies. However, we are now entering a post-telematics age of trucking and about to see the rise of connected drivers.
One of the hottest issues facing the transportation industry today is the lack of young drivers entering the profession. This, combined with an aging workforce, has led to a driver shortage that could cripple the industry and it shows no signs of letting up any time soon.
In the last couple of decades, we have seen that truckers are, on average, getting older. The average age of a truck driver is higher than other industries with a disproportionate number of drivers falling between the ages of 45-64.
