President Joe Biden’s plan to shore up the trucking industry‘s spotty record with recruitment and retention drew mixed reviews from industry trade groups American Trucking Associations (ATA) and Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA).
ATA’s Vice President of Advocacy Bill Sullivan said his group was encouraged that the Biden Administration not only recognized the importance of adding new and well-trained employees to the trucking workforce, “but has announced a path forward with what we believe will become a robust training opportunity for future commercial truck drivers.”
