But even then, long haul truckers only make up about half of the truck driving sector, so not only will the other half still be necessary as always, there will be additional need for short-haul drivers to handle the loads coming in off interstate routes that they were previously handled by the long-haul driver end-to-end. Additionally, the industry has been quite vocal about wanting to have more trucks on long-haul trips, but cannot afford the talent. If those costs come down, there will be even more trucks on the road, needing even more short-haul truckers.
So, while the may be some decline in the job numbers for that industry, it doesn't seem that impactful.
