Trucker Shortage Hits Home

April 19, 2021 By Pat Pape This is the first of a two-part NACS Daily series on the truck driver shortage in the U.S. ALEXANDRIA, Va. Since last August, merchandise deliveries to Square One Markets in Pennsylvania have been delayed at least 10 times, usually for about 24 hours. The reason: There was no driver available to make the delivery. “Our distributor has never had that problem before,” said Lisa Dell’Alba, president and CEO of Square One Markets. “But Pennsylvania is having a terrible time finding workers construction, convenience store and truck drivers. It’s been difficult and caused a bit of disruption in our organization.”

Supply Chain Leaders Call on Congrerss to Pass Bipartisan DRIVE-Safe Act

Share this article Share this article ARLINGTON, Va., April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Today, 117 organizations representing all levels of the U.S. supply chain sent a letter to transportation leaders in Congress urging passage of the DRIVE-Safe Act, legislation to remedy the nation s growing shortage of truck drivers by promoting opportunity and enhancing safety training for emerging members of the trucking workforce. Although 49 states and the District of Columbia currently allow individuals under the age of 21 to obtain a commercial driver s license and operate commercial vehicles in intrastate commerce, these same individuals are prohibited by federal law from driving a truck across state lines until they turn 21. The ban on interstate commerce also precludes them from hauling any freight intrastate that originated from out-of-state, such as cargo shipped by air into their state of domicile.
