[QUOTE="admin, post: 160, member: 1"] For Company Drivers low pay and grueling conditions fueling US truck driver shortage. at Joe’s Travel Plaza, a neon-lit rest stop on California’s main interstate highway, truckers can get a brief respite from life on the road. There’s a TV lounge, a laundry room and a free shower if you buy at least 75 gallons of fuel. There’s even a pair of massage chairs in the corner.

The supply chain crisis roiling the US has inevitably drawn them in, with a shortage of drivers being blamed for containers idling in ports and packages being delayed for months. The trucking industry’s main trade body has said America is short about 80,000 drivers, a figure that’s made headlines around the country.
