This episode of Transportation Chain looks at the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on driver availability and prospects for future labor shortages and skills gaps, as well as recent legislation impacting both drivers and trucking operations.
Marina Mayer, editor in chief of Food Logistics and Supply and Demand Chain Executive, shares insights on what she’s seeing and hearing about driver and labor shortages in the transportation sector.
Becky Schultz, editor of Equipment Today, and Sara Jensen, editor of OEM Off-Highway, discuss how the pandemic is pushing the move to "reshore" manufacturing back to the U.S. and how it could influence both manufacturing and construction activity – and labor availability, training needs and labor costs.
Finally, Curt Bennink, senior field editor at Equipment Today, delves into the recent changes announced to the Hours of Service regulations in the trucking industry and what it means for both drivers and transportation service providers.
