  • Assessing Causes of Driver Job Dissatisfaction in the Flatbed Motor Carrier Industry
    logistics Article Assessing Causes of Driver Job Dissatisfaction in the Flatbed Motor Carrier Industry Ashley Wygal 1, Douglas Voss 2,*, Michael B. Hargis 2 and Scott Nadler 2 1 FIS, Jacksonville, FL 02142, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Marketing and Management, University of Central Arkansas, 312 Business Administration Building, Conway, AR 72035, USA; [email protected] (M.B.H.); [email protected] (S.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Trucking companies play a critical role in the U.S. economy but face many challenges. The trucking industry’s greatest challenge may be the persistent driver turnover problem. Trucking companies regularly report turnover rates exceeding 100%. Each driver costs between $2200–$21,000 to replace and new drivers often impact carrier customer service and safety performance. The purpose of this article is to qualitatively explore the challenges drivers face with hopes of uncovering unique methods to improve job satisfaction and ameliorate turnover and retention issues. Results indicate that driver job satisfaction is related to compensation, management quality, equipment quality, home time, and wait time. Proactive managerial actions in the form of pre-planning loads are proposed as a method for carriers to resolve many driver concerns and possibly provide carriers with a competitive advantage in driver retention.

  • Summaries of Book Club Kit Titles “A”
    Summaries of Book Club Kit Titles “A” Alchemist, The – Paula Coelho Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come. The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams. Added before December 2010 Alice I Have Been – Melanie Benjamin Part love story, part literary mystery, Melanie Benjamin’s spellbinding historical novel leads readers on an unforgettable journey down the rabbit hole, to tell the story of a woman whose own life became the stuff of legend. Her name is Alice Liddell Hargreaves, but to the world she’ll always be known simply as “Alice,” the girl who followed the White Rabbit into a wonderland of Mad Hatters, Queens of Hearts, and Cheshire Cats.
