An article in FreightWaves titled FMCSA chief Joshi: Drivers will take hit from automated trucks again brings up the problem with automated trucks that seems to have no end. Meera Joshi, acting administrator at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), is recorded in the article as saying- We can argue about scope and timeline, BUT WHAT WE CAN’T ARGUE ABOUT IS THAT THIS A REALITY: There will be a major shift in workforce, and If it’s your livelihood that... seems like it’s being threatened, it is an immediate problem. If it is [a technology developer], it feels like things aren’t moving fast enough the infrastructure’s not built and it seems further out. Nothing will happen overnight, but automated vehicles will certainly make inroads into the workforce. MAKE NO MISTAKE AUTOMATION IS COMING! So, exactly what does this mean for the vast majority of our clients? Very little at this time. However, over the next 3 to 15 years the industry will see a vast shift from a driver shortage to drivers looking to retrain, or more likely, looking for specialized jobs that are harder to automate. This will develop into an opportunity for smaller carriers to have their pick of drivers that has not been available for some time. Will you be ready to take advantage of this opportunity, or will you be left scraping the bottom of the barrel; only you can make that decision. But the more professional you establish your company the greater chance of obtaining superior drivers to build your fleet. Make no mistake these drivers are intelligent and will be looking at companies that have a great safety record as well as companies that have something to offer beyond the basic benefits package. Drivers want to be appreciated and recognized for a job well done. If you would like a review of your current position, please contact us. We would appreciate the opportunity to help establish your company to take full advantage of this opportunity.
