The Car Hauler Business In The Age Of The Driver Shortage

I am beginning to sound like a broken record. The driver shortage is a problem, not just for the car hauler industry but for all of trucking. On the car hauler side, it is inevitable there will probably be delays in shipping cars if there are not enough drivers to ship them. That is, of course, unless your willing to pay more for drivers.

This is the dilemma. The government wants drivers:

  • who are healthier
  • who are high performers
  • who are safe
  • who have good track records
  • who are professional
  • who only work a given number of hours
  • who spend thousands more for emissions friendly vehicles
And I say that is great..but what are you going to do to get enough drivers on the road to replace those who have flunked out or left the industry.

This is the question with some possible scenarios

  1. Driver pay COULD get outrageously high
  2. The price of goods could skyrocket
  3. People will have to pick up their own goods
  4. Goods just wont sell or get moved since shipping them makes them cost prohibitive
  5. A combination of the above

 The time to start thinking about the impact of this shortage is now

Another One Bites The Dust...But At Least It Is Not A Car hauler

Used Car Hauler
I have not heard of many car haulers being shutdown. Actually I have not heard of any. This is good but according to Fleetowner newsline online a New Jersey carrier is not so lucky. According to the publication, The FMCSA shut down the carrier for:

  • Operating without the proper authority
  • Operating trucks with serious mechanical defects
  • Hours of service violations
  • Driver qualification violations

Continued Challenges for Car Haulers

The challenges never cease for today's car hauler....

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
And I guess a video is worth a thousand pictures
But a really scary statistic might be worth a coronary..

well here it is. Abc Action News says it costs as much for the average family in Tampa Bay to fill their tank as it does pay their mortgage. The statistic needs no embellishment. It is pretty clear vision of how critical the fuel issue has become. As diesel goes up every car hauler feels it. The question is, will it reach these kind of levels where the cost to fill your tank simply will not cover the cost of the load

Before I would say that scenario was unlikely. After a story like this though...who knows?
