The Driver Shortage
The truck driver shortage has been 1 of the top issues the transportation industry has been dealing with for many years. The number of drivers required keeps getting larger and there is no immediate fix to the shortage the trucking industry is facing.
Women in Trucking
Currently, women represent 48% of the Canadian workforce yet only 3% of Canada’s truck drivers, technicians, and cargo workers. The trucking industry has begun taking steps toward marketing the industry to women in hopes that more female drivers will help solve the driver shortage and fill in the gaps left by aging male drivers.
