Embrace Automation Amidst Labor Challenges
Truck driving is a demanding job, leading to significant long-term health issues and a high fatality rate, making it increasingly unattractive for workers. As a result, there's a declining workforce in the trucking industry despite a persistent shortage of drivers.

While current drivers can expect to keep their jobs until retirement, the integration of automation will gradually reduce the number of human drivers needed in logistics, prompting a shift in the labor landscape.
