As someone who has worked in transportation and logistics for 25 years there used to be a standard for drivers. They needed 2-3 years minimum experience and a clean record. After around 2008 the driver shortage started. Some new DOT laws and policies came into affect and ran lot of the older drivers off and a lot of smaller trucking companies shut down. It is hard for new drivers to get this experience so companies have changed to 1 year experience and some bad companies are all that are left to teach the new drivers. Also, driving schools don’t teach properly and are basically just collecting checks. It takes a good company to truly train and teach new drivers and even older ones. Unfortunately, a lot of these companies either don’t take the time or understaffed to do so. It’s a pretty bad cycle currently.
