The trucking industry projects it will need to hire over a million drivers over the next decade. One idea that's gained some traction: Bring in younger drivers, starting in high school.
Tucker Bubacz, a 17-year-old senior, climbs into the cab of a semi truck just outside Williamsport High School in Williamsport, Md. on Monday, Oct. 17, 2022.
"This is a $100,000 truck," Young says."If you blow the engine because of negligence, you're going to be looking for a new job." "That's where you make most of your money at," says Joshua Hewitt, a 17-year-old senior at Williamsport High School who's enrolled in the trucking class."You can make money in state, but over state, going from West Coast to East Coast — that's where you make the most money."Joshua Hewitt, a 17-year-old senior, says he'd like to be an owner-operator, meaning he'd own his own truck rather than work for someone else. He has his eye on long-haul trucking.
Williamsport sits along two major interstates, just minutes away from West Virginia and Pennsylvania. A trucker friend had told Parry of the tremendous demand for drivers.
