There are currently 3.5 million commercial drivers, averaging $50,000 annually. Over the next ten years the American Trucking Association (ATA) projects a need for 96,178 new drivers per year. These opportunities exist because of industry growth (36%), retirement (37%), drivers not meeting current guidelines (16%) and changing careers (11%).In both of his roles, Martin Garsee is a leading export in commercial truck driving. His leadership is paving the future and creating the workforce needed in the trucking and transportation industry.LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-garsee-78436a69/Website: https://napftds.org/
