So, what are the main causes of trucker turnover in this industry? For one, it’s a lonely job. Being on the road, by yourself, can be something that turns people away from trucking. Health is another issue that makes people question being a truck driver. There a more unhealthy food options on the road than healthy options and sitting all day doesn’t help either. Also, sometimes the pay just doesn’t add up. Most truckers get paid on a per-mile basis and trying to budget finances with those numbers can be tricky. Trucking isn’t for everyone, but those who are in it for the long haul love it and wouldn’t want to do anything else.
