Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you\u2019ll know that the supply chain has been in a world of pain over the last few years. This has been caused by COVID shipping delays, bottlenecks at the ports, and significant lags in truck delivery. <\/span><\/p>\n

And one of the biggest pain points is a shortage of long-haul truck drivers. <\/span><\/p>\n

And now, transportation companies are developing tech-driven approaches<\/a> that not only solve problems that have been plaguing the industry for decades, but also turn trucking itself on its head. <\/span><\/p>\n

From trucks in relay to <\/span>autonomous<\/a> <\/span>trucking, the world of deliveries is changing faster than many thought possible. Short of a drone going door to door, your deliveries have never looked better.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the problem with long-haul trucking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Research last year<\/span><\/a> by the American Trucking Associations predicted a 2021 truck driver shortage of just over 80,000. Following current trends, the shortage could surpass 160,000 by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest challenge is attracting workers. Simply put, long-haul trucking involves being away from home, with drivers living in their rig. Most workers are nearer to the end of their working life than at the beginning. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, attempts to attract younger workers<\/a> are hindered by the isolation of life on the road. <\/span><\/p>\n
