According to the American Trucking Associations, there was a shortage of truck drivers last year that surpassed 60,000. That number is expected to grow to 160,000 by 2028. With the average age of a commercial truck driver at 55-years-old and with more baby boomers retiring from the trucking industry every year, it’s so important to retain the drivers you already have and attract younger drivers to your company.
At Veltri, Inc., we pride ourselves in driver retention. The average driver has been with us for at least six years. Our employees must have at least two years of previous driving experience and clean driving records. Our compensation and benefit package is well above average and our drivers receive a strong hourly rate, as well as a 401K and quality health care plan.

Time With Family
Trying to balance a professional and personal life can be challenging. For drivers with families, a regular schedule is often more important than making a large salary.
