My company hires trucking company drivers to move goods to US ports .. over the past year, it has become increasingly difficult to find drivers. Yesterday, I approved paying a 2x normal rate to find drivers before the end of this quarter. Still, they say they can’t find any.
This economy is booming.
The guy is right about inflation numbers though. It’s much higher than the 2% they keep telling us. But even that depends on what kinds of things you buy.
Yesterday, Mrs. abb & I drove from North Louisiana to Johnson City, TN, via I-20, I-59 & I-40. I cannot recall in my lifetime of travels seeing as many trucks on the road as I did yesterday. Even before daylight, many, many trucks.
same here, I can’t find an assistant for 25 bucks an hour. My last one quit after nearly 5 years to move back to Louisiana. She was great but encountered horrible personal problems not her fault.
Going to try again, soon.
