The Need for Professional
Driving Careers is Increasing
Still the Knights
of the Road
Kings of the
Asphalt Jungle
As people retire and age-out we must have a robust pipeline of qualified and motivated professionals ready to take the wheel. The human element is huge, and no matter what technology and autonomy promises, we need people.
The truck driver shortage is on track to become acute. You'll see here how this is more than just a “trucking industry” concern; it is a challenge that affects our economy and quality of life collectively. Major sectors of our economy depend on professional drivers. Who sacrifice being present for important moments and milestones in the lives of their families and themselves to serve us.
So, it’s imperative that we support these supply chain soldiers and do all we can individually and in matters of public policy to protect, defend, sustain, and promote these individuals.
In South Carolina, a seasoned trucker can earn a competitive salary that ranges from $45,000 to $75,000. In many sectors the pay and benefits amount to much more.
In a sense, truck drivers are cornerstones of our economy.
Beyond what we’ve shown, millions of “truckers” are actively involved in initiatives like Truckers Against Trafficking, where they serve as vigilant eyes on the road, helping to combat human trafficking. During the holiday season, they participate in Wreaths Across America, ensuring our fallen heroes are honored with respect and dignity. They join the Truck Convoy for Special Olympics, showing their immense compassion and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities. There are countless acts of duty and everyday-heroism truck drivers do anonymously and without any desire for recognition.
Let's celebrate the human side of trucking by looking up to them, showing a friendly face, and letting them see your appreciation for keeping our economy moving and our lives enriched.

- Driving a truck comes with real responsibility. Every mile, every turn, every load means lives are in your hands. But that responsibility comes with purpose. You stay connected to your family while you work. You build trust with customers by keeping them informed. You take ownership of your truck and your workspace. Once you sit in that seat, you are the one in control.
- Working in logistics is not a corporate checklist job. It has meaning. When you talk with drivers every day, you understand the heart behind this industry. They are real, relatable, hardworking people, and the work you do actually helps them get paid, stay safe, and get home. There is pride in that. Making their lives easier, keeping them rolling, and knowing they appreciate the effort — that is what makes this job worth it.
