How did your company adapt to the shortage of workers in the trucking industry? Has your supply chain moved towards other forms of freighting or have y'all accepted the decrease? Would love to hear about any innovative approaches as well.

In my experience, my company is trying to increase wages, offer bonuses and better benefits, and partner with driving schools for recruitment. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), we're also utilizing technologies like autonomous vehicles and route optimization software. The whole industry is massively in flux right now. Kinda scary but kinda exciting, maybe?

I appreciate the effort to make the job more attractive with the incentives program! I learned firsthand how long-distance shipments can be fraught with issues when I worked at my previous job. I'll bet the switch to rail transport has had a positive impact on your operations. It's great to see that you are embracing methods that are cost-efficient and have fewer complications.
