Trucker Shortage Could Be Solved..

A rash of trucker shortage articles has hit the news lately..again...for the second, third, fourth time etc.  They say the same thing:

• There are not enough truckers to fill the positions
• Companies are looking
• The training programs are not training enough to fill them
• The trucker fleet is aging
• The government is forcing lots of drivers out
• Many younger candidates and employees do not want to be on the road for weeks at a time
• What do we do? 

This is a bunch of hogwash.

24 karat hogwash

It is very simple what happens in just about EVERY other industry when people won't take a job

the wages go up.....way up...way way up.

So now "Joe" high school realizes he can earn 70,000, 80,000, 90,000 in a relatively short time..and the time on the road trucking doesn't seem that bad. As wages go up,  the 'negatives' of a job become much more bearable

And in capitalism, when lots of people take a job with high wages, the wages stabilize..problem solved

Socialism offers stale suppressed wages with no incentives...
