The State | 08/15/2004 | Companies need drivers to keep on trucking 國家| 2004年8月15日|公司需要司機保持運輸
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. 正在離家很長一段時間,駕駛500英里一天爭奪交通孤獨,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 , 因為運輸是在1979年放開 , 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. 不過 , 貨運管理人員表示 , 他們不得不更加努力的工作近來可比薪酬開創建設,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. 這意味著企業需要吸引新的驅動程序並保持老兵轉職業 , 使他們的工作更加貼近家庭。
Did they not see the previous line that wages have sucked since '79?難道他們看不出前行,工資自吸'79? What do they think can “lure” new drivers and keep veterans?他們認為什麼可以“吸引”新的驅動程序並保持退伍軍人? Articles like this make my head explode.文章這樣使我的腦袋爆炸。 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.” “但我想說的司機短缺真的變得更嚴格 , 過去6個月和很多是推動改善經濟。”
As a result, retention efforts are intensifying. 因此,保留的努力正在加緊。
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. 為了使司機更快樂,公司正在嘗試一切從增加的速度 , 他們可以駕駛到讓更多的“空英里”,使他們能夠走向回家的車 , 即使是空的 , 有沒有貨運朝著這個方向。
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,使他們能驅動他們的幻想,他們駕駛的速度越快,越多的錢,他們可以做到的。 How about… gee, let me think… MORE FREAKIN' MONEY!!! Plain and simple.怎麼樣...哎呀,讓我想想... 更多的確很貨幣!平原和簡單。 It's not a lifestyle issue.這不是一個生活方式的問題。 A lot of jobs suck.還有很多的就業機會吸吮。 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.但是,人們足夠的工資,他們就會被做好。 Getting drivers home isn't as complicated as they make it out to be either.獲取司機家沒有複雜的,因為有出要么。
