We’ve been hearing about the truck driver shortage for years.
But maybe we’ve been asking the wrong question.
Instead of asking where all the drivers went, what if we asked what kind of transportation system we’re expecting them to work inside?
In this episode, Gia looks beyond the driver shortage headline and into training, qualification, safety, detention, parking, hours of service, appointment systems, working conditions, and one of the most overlooked forms of capacity loss:
Wasted time.
A truck sitting four hours at a dock is still technically “capacity”—but it isn’t moving freight.
Maybe the answer isn’t always adding more drivers.
Maybe part of the answer is making better use of the qualified professionals already behind the wheel.
This week’s question: Does your operation really have a driver shortage—or are you wasting the capacity of the drivers you already have?
