Demographics show the driver shortage will become more pronounced in years to come. Nearly 57% of all truckers are over 45 and 23% are over 55.

On Monday, Coyote Logistics and Emsi released an in-depth research report, “Drivers Wanted,” that covers the present and future of the truck driver labor pool. The report combines labor market data with on-the-ground insights from the transportation and logistics industry.
