That insanely high figure is also why the predicted labor strike against automation of long haul trucking likely won't happen. Very few love the job and most who have experienced it quickly leave. It's one of those cases where not many will be put out of work should self driving ever come to be. Short haul on the other hand seems to be growing, pays better and probably is more difficult to automate.

- pi-e-sigma 3y agoIf you have 90% turnover it means that people indeed don't need this particular job.
- ceejayoz 3y agoThey may need a trucking job, though. It depends quite a bit on where they turnover to. If they're largely jumping from trucking company to trucking company, a strike is still entirely feasible.
- pi-e-sigma 3y agoI would disagree with your reasoning. The high turnover and a short tenure means people are not very attached to the job but more importantly it also means the drivers in any given trucking company don't know each other very well and it would be quite difficult for them to organize for a common cause such as a strike. Way to easy for the trucking company to play the drivers against each other.
