With the rise of ecommerce and increasingly distributed chains comes the increase demand for freight movement. However, automated trucking is more than 20 years away from widespread adoption and the average age of a truck driver is 48 years old with an impending outflux due to retirement. There NEEDS to be a solution that bridges the gap and lowers the driver shortage.
At DriverFly, we believe that one critical component to driving down the driver shortage is to create an ecosystem that allows drivers and small businesses to flourish through targeted, low cost recruiting initiatives (via the assistance of technology) and education initiatives to promote driver retention.
