The driver shortage has consistently been identified as one the trucking industry’s most pressing issues over the past several years.

The continuing shortage — coupled with the industry’s infamously high turnover rates — has inspired Tenstreet to partner with FreightWaves to better understand why drivers leave carriers and what they look for in new roles. The 3-minute survey below will ask about these topics, as well as how things like mobile-friendly job applications affect drivers’ decisions to apply for new jobs.
