During Friday’s show, Truckers News and the Truckload Carriers Association will present a $10,000 prize to Top Rookie Truckings. Duner is an award-winning content producer and host who currently creates new podcasts, TV shows, newsletters and multimedia content for FreightWaves. This fall, I spoke with truck drivers, industry experts, and executives from companies specializing in new truck technologies, especially self-driving vehicles. Here’s what I’ve learned about the evolution of these amazing machines, how they’ll survive the seismic changes in automation, and why truck drivers work 80-hour weeks and continue to be bankrupt.
Although truck drivers made up the majority of all truckers 40 years ago, they now account for about 2%. Every year, about 72% of all US cargo is transported by truck, and freight forwarders pay $791 billion to transport cargo by truck. While our online shopping creates demand for goods transported by trucks, infrastructure remains in poor condition and driver turnover remains high. Every product that ships from a US port or factory to your door is delivered by truck at some point.
During World War I, semi-trailers offered an alternative to the overburdened railroad for transporting military supplies, and during the Great Depression, their use skyrocketed, mostly for food. During the holiday season, UPS partnered with Waymo, whose autonomous trucks have been hired to help eliminate delivery bottlenecks and carry cargo.
Long-haul truck drivers tend to sleep in their trucks days or weeks after leaving home. Voye, who has been in the trucking industry since 1979, said self-driving trucks are unlikely to appear in the near future.
If you are 70 and a half years old or older, you can make a reasonable tax gift to support truckers with a “roll-over” gift from your IRA directly to TAT. Donated funds are not recognized as income for federal income tax purposes. You can transform your display with a custom display stand that borrows from your company’s branding.
