Be happy. Truckers are in great demand. A huge chunk of the population will be unemployed in a few months.

I like it. Freepers who support truckers deserve a handle; let’s call them FRuckers.

We have always been in demand. We are over 80K short in the workforce. Every notice why ALL of the trailers state that their company is hiring?

They can't keep people because truckers are screwed over by the industry and no one is championing them. Ever wonder why the demographics is changing to less experience foreign drivers rather than professional US drivers?

That's the reason. No one speaks for them and the big lobbyists are the ones who get Congress' attention.

The truck driver shortage will be no more, and soon, if people stop buying things that are not essential: Furniture, a new tv, a new car, clothing/fashion slavery (including sporting goods), and housing construction will slow big time. Less fuel consumption=less tank drivers.

The shipping container industry is all about things coming and going by way of ships. Those dockworkers will feel it too.

I could go on, but that’s a good start.
