TRUCK DRIVER SHORTAGE ANALYSIS 2015

October 21, 2015

Over the past 15 years, the trucking industry has periodically struggled with a shortage of truck drivers. 1 The first shortage during this period was documented in a 2005 report. At that time, the shortage was roughly 20,000. During the last recession starting in 2008, the driver shortage was eliminated as industry volumes plummeted, resulting in fewer drivers needed. However, as industry volumes began to recover in 2011, the shortage slowly returned. The driver market continued to tighten and the shortage skyrocketed to 38,000 by 2014.
