Yes, this will have an impact on prices.
...KLLM Transport Services is boosting pay up to 33% for its over-the-road truckers and for trainees coming out of its academy, while regional company drivers and independent contractors will see a hike of 10 to 16% starting next month....
The other big players, such as Schneider, Knight, Hunt, and Werner, will eventually follow suit. They have no choice; good CDL drivers are increasingly rare, especially for the long-run routes.
KLLM will be paying $100K/year ++ for its long-run drivers going forward, even if they're 'fresh graduates' from its training school.
Not bad.
