More than 70% of all domestic freight in the United States are moved by trucks. One in 18 U.S. jobs are in trucking. What does this massive industry need to stay competitive globally? On this episode of Driving Forward, host Andrew Stasiowski speaks with American Trucking Associations President and CEO Chris Spear. The pair explore just how impactful the trucking industry is throughout America, as well as the worsening truck driver shortage.
Chris tells Andrew exactly how infrastructure investment can improve conditions for truck drivers and how lawmakers can invest to make American trucking more competitive in a global economy. Chis also shares insight into the impact of electric vehicles in the trucking industry and why, if he could wish for anything to help the trucking industry, it would be to greatly improve access to safe parking.
