Turnover at Trucking Companies

One of the little know facts about the trucking industry is the amount of turnover they have among their drivers. Nationwide the turnover rate for drivers is over 120%.  If a trucking company has (as an example) 1000 drivers, on average they would be hiring 100 new truckers every month. This leads to companies making m istakes and taking shortcuts in screening, training, and hiring. Those mistakes can be catastrophic when they put a driver on the road with poor judgment, bad habits, and no training or supervision. For more information on this study and issue, click here.
