Why is it that in today's trucking industry, they are paid significantly less than they were in the 1980s? This episode reveals the gritty reality of the profession, starting with a stark comparison of trucker wages from the past to the present, and a critical look at how deregulation and the rise of independent contracting have triggered this decline.
Join us as we take a deep dive into the heart of the trucking industry alongside Mike Chavez, Executive Director of the Inland Empire Labor Institute. Together, we explore the pressing issue of trucker retention and the looming shadow of AI in the profession. From restroom access to the rigors of the gig economy, we'll uncover the daily challenges truckers face and the impact of these conditions on the alleged trucker shortage.
Now, imagine a revolution in the trucking industry. One where everyone is respected and treated fairly. In our final discussion, we advocate for this change. We expose recruitment tactics that sugarcoat the harsh realities of the job and emphasize the need for unity in the industry to ensure respect and fair compensation. We also discuss the importance of demonstrating safe driving habits and courtesy on the road, as a means to garner public respect. This episode is a call to action; a plea for better conditions, fair treatment, and respect for those who keep our goods moving. Buckle up—it’s going to be an enlightening ride.
