Americans are facing a historic supply chain crisis. The solutions are simple on the one hand and
maddeningly complex on the other. And no industry embodies that complexity more than the trucking
industry. Just getting the barges unloaded will not be enough. Those goods have to be transported to a
final destination.
For that, we’re going to need trucks. And those trucks will need drivers. According to the American
Trucking Association (ATA), approximately 70% of consumer goods in the United States are transported
by trucks. However, for a variety of reasons, the industry faces a shortage of qualified drivers.
How extreme is that shortage? The ATA estimates that the shortage of qualified truck drivers sits at over
50,000 and continues to grow. In fact, it suggests that over 900,000 drivers are needed and there simply
are not enough qualified drivers to meet that demand.
We’re not going to see one million new drivers on the road by the end of the year. And even if we did,
trucking companies will be a beneficiary as the industry rises to meet this moment. This also means that
investors should be eyeing trucking stocks. And that’s why we’ve prepared this special presentation
which identifies seven trucking stocks that are excellent opportunities at this time.
