<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scott180, post: 12274944, member: 102780&quot;]Automation isn&#039;t going to be the first big blow to the trucking industry, but it will be the final nail&nbsp; in the working-class coffin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I see coming.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.

Free or low cost vocational training.</p><p>(This would allow for self-sufficiency)</p><p>4. A flood of qualified, fully trained workers entering the workforce.</p><p>(Many, many of the illegal aliens want a better life and are willing to be trained and work for it)</p><p>5. The abundant workforce will lower the demand for employees and in turn lower wages.</p><p>(Excess willing workers population has always led to lower worker wages)</p><p>6. Lower overhead and more competition will lead to lower rates.</p><p>(Simply supply and demand)</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how long it&#039;ll take but I think it will happen faster than people think it&#039;ll happen. I just hope I can get a retirement going before the working-class part of the industry collapses.</p><p>Trucking will remain but the wages won&#039;t be worth it to many who now are doing it.
