The State | 08/15/2004 | Companies need drivers to keep on trucking 國家| 2004年8月15日|公司需要不斷卡車司機
Being away from home for long stretches at a time, driving 500 miles a day and battling traffic is lonely, stressful work and, as a result, the industry has a high turnover rate. 作為遠離家鄉的很長一段時間,駕駛500英里,每天交通對抗孤獨,緊張的工作,因此,該行業具有較高的周轉率。 Limited wage growth since trucking was deregulated in 1979 has exacerbated the problem. 工資增長有限,因為卡車是在1979年放鬆管制加劇了問題。
But trucking executives say they've had to work even harder lately as jobs with comparable pay packages open up in construction, agriculture and manufacturing. 但貨運管理人員說,他們已經不得不更努力工作作為近期工作具有同等薪酬開放建築,農業和製造業。 That means companies need to lure new drivers and keep veterans from switching to careers that allow them to work closer to home. 這意味著公司需要不斷吸引新的驅動程序和切換到退伍軍人生涯,使他們的工作更接近家。
Did they not see the previous line that wages have sucked since '79?難道他們看不出以前的工資行自吸'79? What do they think can “lure” new drivers and keep veterans?他們認為可以做什麼“引誘”老兵新的驅動程序和保持? Articles like this make my head explode.像這樣的文章使我的頭爆炸。 Where's my duct tape?哪裡是我的膠帶?
High turnover “is a perennial problem,” Riley said. 高營業額“是一個長期存在的問題,”萊利說。 “But I would say the driver shortage has really gotten tighter over the last six months and a lot of it is driven by the improvement in the economy.” “但我會說司機短缺確實得到了加強,在過去6個月,它是一個很大的改善帶動了經濟。”
As a result, retention efforts are intensifying. 因此,保留正在加緊努力。
To make truckers happier, companies are trying everything from increasing the speed they can drive to allowing more “empty miles” so they can head toward home even if their trucks are empty and there's no freight moving in that direction. 為了讓司機更快樂,公司正試圖從一切的速度增加,他們可以駕駛到讓更多的“空裡”,使他們能夠走向回家,即使他們的車是空的,有沒有貨運朝著這個方向努力。
Increase the speed they can drive so they have the illusion that the faster they drive, the more money they can make.增加的速度,以便他們能驅動他們有錯覺,以為他們更快的驅動器,它們可以使更多的錢。 How about… gee, let me think… MORE FREAKIN' MONEY!!! Plain and simple.怎麼樣...哎呀,讓我想想... 更多好看得的錢!平原和簡單。 It's not a lifestyle issue.這不是一種生活方式的問題。 A lot of jobs suck.吸了很多的就業機會。 And this lifestyle isn't the best when you have a family.而這種生活方式是不是最好的當你有一個家庭。 But pay people enough and they will get done.但付出的人,他們將獲得足夠的工作。 Getting drivers home isn't as complicated as they make it out to be either.旅遊司機家是複雜的,因為他們沒有使出來是。
