As an example, the American Transportation Research Institute estimates there are 30,000 – 35,000 trucker jobs that could be filled tomorrow if workers would take these jobs–a shortage that could rise to 240,000 by 2022.

Mostly drivers are quitting because of the new regulations on drivers sleep and rest times...

Makes it uneconomic with the timing of the rest/sleep periods....

....and because of the rest time there are more trucks in the parking lots....however there are not enough parking spaces for big rigs on major highways....so that drivers are forced to take their rest stops on the side of the road or on exit ramps.
