I found this link on another web page about the truck driver shortage. It is a good article:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6769594/
Interesting but nothing new

I especially find this quote amusing/interesting:
"And shippers that don't help carriers by improving their loading and unloading practices are more likely to struggle for capacity.
"If you're not a driver-friendly shipper, you'll probably have a difficult time getting your goods shipped," Hart said. Shippers that don't try to meet drivers' operational needs are "either overpaying for transportation or they can't find capacity at all."
I wonder if any dock foremen read that article?
