As the freight transportation industry continues to grapple with driver shortages, lane congestion, and seemingly infinite demand, carriers are having to resort to new and innovative ways to recruit and retain drivers. Why? Because just increasing driver pay isn't always enough. And with shortages already crippling the industry, trucking companies can ill afford to lose a single driver. Dr. Stephanie Thomas, Professor of Supply Chain Management at the University of Arkansas, has done research that shows that pay is not the only factor in attracting and retaining driver talent. In fact, her work has shown that oftentimes simply increasing pay isn't enough, but rather a more holistic approach to providing a broad array of benefits is more impactful. In this session, Dr. Thomas will share more data from her research and provide insights into emerging best practices for driver recruitment and retention.
