COVID-19 has led 50 million Americans to declare themselves unemployed, more than the 37 million that implemented the Great Recession. In June, the unemployment rate “dropped” to 11.1%, however, as you’ll probably remember, before the pandemic, the unemployment figures were 4%.
The road transport industry, while touted as an industry and praised for its efforts through the president of the United States, has been affected by the economic closure and has also noticed its fair share of task losses.
In the years leading up to 2020, almost everyone in the road transport industry lamented the shortage of drivers and technicians. With the economic downturn, it would possibly seem at first glance that we solved the challenge just because the degrees of unemployment are so high. However, my fear is long-term. While COVID-19 would possibly have given us a respite from scarcity, the industry as a whole has not addressed any of the basic challenges similar to attracting and retaining people.
When the U.S. economy re-enters, we’ll be back on the same boat, looking for workers or rejecting businesses because we can’t locate enough people who need to drive trucks, turn keys, send drivers, or locate the right parts.
During the early stages of the pandemic, for a time, the truckers regained their prestige as “knights of the road” and were considered heroes because they delivered essential goods. But as the source chain has done what it has done and the materials have become abundant, we’ve stopped hearing about drivers as heroes.
Pandemic or not, road transport is an essential component of our economy. If we want to attract others to truck transport as the economy rises, we want to return to some of the basic problems, adding how we communicate about truck jobs, the types of other people we focus on. about how we pay other people and the general operating situations that the new generation dreams and expects.
The “old-fashioned” trucking industry is a thing of the past. We are a global generation supply chain that transports pharmaceuticals, food, clothing, construction fabrics and all the other essentials that other people want and want. We are a very varied industry that encompasses all races and ethnicities.
As we enter the era of electric and self-driving cars, we will want more and more tech-savvy workers capable of maximizing the return on investment of these new cars and systems. We want to improve our existing education systems and publicize the “new school” truck industry that is there to compete.
Road transport has given many of us wonderful opportunities, but how many of us communicate about how wonderful an industry is when we have the ability to communicate with young people? If we are ambassadors of our own industry, who will be?
COVID-19 would possibly have been used to mask the shortage of truck personnel, but don’t be fooled by the concept that the challenge has disappeared forever. Act now to start turning everything you can to make this industry a position that all kinds of people need to work in.

It’s never too early to start connecting with your local application and educate them on the details of your operation so you can start building that meaningful relationships want for the long-term good fortune of electric trucks.
It is very likely that the expansion of e-commerce, which has been particularly stimulated through COVID-19, will continue as many other people have not only become accustomed to placing orders online, but are now profiting from it. E-commerce is based on the immediate delivery of goods to consumers and has led to the structure of more warehouses and distribution centers. This has had an effect on the trucking industry, as we have noticed a shift towards more fleets in regional transport operations.
NACFE has done the task of seeking to perceive the complexities of regional transport and one of the things we have learned from our paintings is that regional transport is a market that makes sense for the deployment of electric battery cars. The good news is that we are seeing a big investment in existing truck brands, as well as some new corporations that are running to discharge battery-powered electric cars in the process of progression, in testing and, ultimately, in specific cargo operations.
However, electric battery cars on the road are a little more confusing than just building them. Fleets have to figure out how they’re going to qualify them and that’s where things can get more confusing.
The first step in our billing acquisition roadmap, which was presented as a component of our load infrastructure management report, is to interact with the application. This sounds quite easy, but the truth is that it can be difficult to locate the right user to communicate with in the app and be ready to be transferred first to the user who manages the power source for the house’s electric vehicle loads. Also note that you may want to paint with several other utilities depending on the spaces where you want coverage.
When you are the right person, be prepared to communicate the following:
Although we have published several policy reports on the facets of electric trucks, we have also recently published brief introductory pages of two pages each. One is for fleets and the other for utilities.
Widespread deployment of battery electric cars will only occur if fleets and utilities combine to position mandatory charging infrastructure and can paints in combination so fleets can benefit from reliable charging.
Dave Schaller, Director of Industry Engagement at NACFE, has been working hard to build those relationships for about a year. He says today it’s like a school dance where everyone looks at each other and not just nobody dances, but he doesn’t even talk.
Michael Roeth has worked in the advertising vehicle industry for nearly 30 years, most recently as Executive Director of the North American Cargo Efficiency Council. Lately he has been on the national academy of sciences committee on technologies and approaches to reduce fuel consumption for medium and heavy cars and has held positions in engineering, quality, sales and plant control at Navistar and Behr/Cummins.
