Host Sonari Glinton finds out why the trucking industry is short tens of thousands of drivers, and how the pandemic exacerbated the problem. We learn about the ways the industry is changing to recruit new drivers - and keep the ones it has - and how innovative thinking and technology could lead to an industry-wide overhaul.
In this episode we meet Christopher Johns, a British trucker who’s been driving for 15 years, and knows firsthand why this job is so tough. Kendra Hems, President of the Trucking Association of New York lays out the challenges her industry is facing, and how it’s changing as a result. And Kunwar Walia, a transportation design researcher, unearths some of the baseline issues and how new ways of approaching old problems could help drivers, the industry and the whole supply chain.
