Digital transformation driving force of truck fleet optimization

The global pandemic has paused or inhibited momentum for a number of industries, but not the trucking industry. The economy relies heavily on drivers and fleets. Although it faces various obstacles -- including increased demand and fewer drivers to meet it – the trucking industry continues to see significant growth. According to the American Trucking Association, the trucking industry was short roughly 60,800 drivers back in 2018, and the shortage has continued. Experts estimate 80,000 fewer available drivers on the roads in 2021 vs. a year ago.
