    Just wondering with all the talks of the driver shortages at any given time how many openings would you estimate there to be at Millis currently? What about other companies? I was just thinking about it and I knew you guys probably knew. Stay safe- Drew

    Most of the drivers I've seen are on the taller side, if you're talking height. Any other "shortage" I don't know anything....

    Well, in the business section of several newspapers and online news; there is a shortage of approximately 200,000 long haul truck drivers. Can find more info. on google also. At the top of this page/forum click on "truck driver jobs." That's a good start.

    no shortage that i know of. more of a load shortage than a driver shortage.

    Here's another good start

    http://www.hdma.org/Main-Menu/HDMA-...t-Declines-Despite-Jump-in-Registrations.html
    Why are 200,000 drivers needed with less trucks on the road ?

    http://www.todaystrucking.com/us-driver-turnover-rate-soars-to-106
    Starter companies are chewing newbies up and spitting them out at a higher rate than ever . 200,000 CDL mill graduates will fail and be replaced temporarily by others .
