The Growth of the Trucking Industry Means an Increase in Truck Driver Jobs

If you’re looking for a new career, consider joining the Bay and Bay team!

Trucking Industry Growth

With more online economies thriving, in addition to brick and mortar stores returning to profitable levels, the need for transportation companies and truck drivers has continued to rise over the last few years. In late 2013, American Trucking Associations reported that the transportation industry would need to fill almost 100,000 new truck driving jobs to keep up with demand. As such, Bay & Bay Transportation is always looking for OTR, owner-operator, and company drivers to help us best meet the demands of our clients.

Unfortunately, the high demand for truck drivers has also been accompanied by a high turnover rate. Smaller fleets in particular have seen a high turnover rate for at least 6 quarters. Those that are independent operators have also started to be more cautious when it comes to their business.

As of the 2013 National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, there were over 3.1 million men and women putting on the miles in the trucking industry. It’s been just over a year since those statistics were released and the number has definitely risen since then. Bay & Bay Transportation was proud to participate in appreciation week and honored all of our drivers with events and meals at our local terminals.

The truck driving industry is growing just as much, if not slightly more, than other occupations. It’s important that we keep growing our numbers to meet demands, as well as increasing our retention rate with the best of drivers.

Bay & Bay Transportation is looking to fill many different truck driving jobs. If you have 6 months or more of OTR experience, we are looking for you! Assignments range from local routes to routes that extend to the east coast.

We believe in creating a family atmosphere between the company and our employees and appreciating the hard work that everyone puts into making this company run smoothly. Bay & Bay Transportation rewards hard work and safety above all. If you are interested in becoming a truck driver for Bay & Bay, please take a look at our Driver Opportunities to apply online!
