ORLANDO, Fla. – According to the American Transportation Research Institute, the shortage of truck drivers is causing a domino effect on manufacturers, consumers and corporations across the country.
“At some point, we may start going to grocery stores and we’re used to seeing, I don’t know, 7 different variety of apples in there and now there’s only 3 because of the truck driver shortage,” Bob Costello, chief economist with the American Truckers Associations, said. “Whenever you have a situation where demand outstrips supply what happens to price? It goes up; same thing is happening with truck drivers.”
