The transport experts over at FTR Associates believe that by the time the transport industry of the United States of America makes it to 2012, there could be shortage of professionals transport drivers to help move customers cars to destination in a reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner during the miles ahead. They indicate that as many as 400,000 more drivers could be needed to help the transport industry of the United States keep the cargo moving to destination in America by the time 2012 rolls down the road.

What issues will contribute to the shortage of transport drivers for the job of keeping the trucks moving to destination in the United States of America in the future? The professionals over at FTR Associates think that there could be limits to how fast transport fleets in the years ahead will be able to recruit the drivers they need.
