P&D

I'd imagine a lot too is to bring in younger manpower as well. I only ever see grey haired older guys driving for OD. That's usually most truckers that aren't running for a mega these days it seems but OD seems to be more 55+.

That's the land of sudden unexpected medical card revocations or dying age for life long truckers. My last company lost 3 guys in a 6 month window due to medical cards being revoked. 1 guy was able to get his back after 2 months of doctor shopping. The others retired. We only operated with 10 or so drivers. We lost 1/3 of the workforce in a very small timeframe. And when you factor in the slackers vs the hard workers we really lost about 40-50% productivity.

It's a shame 1 75 year old driver supported as much work as the two 40-somethings slackers plus the fat #### route manager who needed to be fired the day after he was hired.

Trucking jobs that have more manual labor involved than pulling a fifth wheel or slamming the stall door at a love's toilet really weed out a lot of the terminally lazy, unless you have management that is too scared to fire people or place reasonable demands on drivers.

Maybe in other regions, but around here everyone seems younger. There’s some P&D guys on the older side who have cake routes, but they’re definitely hiring younger as far as I can tell.
