Truckers have their say about supply chain issues

Nov 10, 2021 at 04:15 PM CST

Earlier this year, the federal government asked members of U.S. transportation industries for their thoughts on problems within the supply chain. To no one's great surprise, the feds got an earful from a variety of trade associations, including those representing trucking interests, carriers, and businesses that rely on trucking. Individual truckers also weighed in with comments that will be used to inform a report to President Joe Biden early next year.

Individuals -- mostly truckers and those who have retired from or left the industry -- weighed in with a familiar litany of frustrations drivers face on a regular basis. Among them were issued similar to those listed in the annual report compiled earlier this year by the American Transportation Research Institute.
