Trucking Knowledge 20 // OWNER OPERATOR // AUGUST 2015 By John Burleson GATS Recruiting Pavilion joins drivers to jobs I f you're a commercial driver, you are in a great position to find a new job. The driver shortage is in full swing, federal regulations are affecting driver turnover, and there is a demand for increased freight volume from fleets. All of this is working to build a perfect storm for you, the driver. This same perfect storm can lead to a lot of added stress. You have to deal with dispatchers pushing you to work harder, aggravated and (potentially) angry customers, and maybe even miss a little home time with the family. It can add a lot of stress to an already stressful job. The Great American Trucking Show is dedicated to giving you the resources you want and need for a happy and healthy life. To help improve your career health (alongside your physical health), we have drastically expanded the driver recruiting pavilion to provide additional resources for you. You can find a job that fits your career needs. We want to help you find your dream driving job. The expanded recruiting pavilion puts you in contact with representatives from 99 exhibiting fleets, all of which are seeking to hire drivers just like you. You can speak directly to fleet representatives who can tell you about their fleet's programs and benefits. These representatives can tell you other valuable information that you might normally miss out on, like the potential for career progression.
