ICE Crackdown Risks 614,000 Truck Driver Exodus – Largest Labor Shortfall in Trucking History
 
Experts warn that the U.S. trucking industry could face a driver shortage in 2025, potentially the biggest labor gap recorded in its history. Projections from industry groups and analysts suggest that the loss could reach significant levels if current trends continue, with industry discussion citing the risk of up to several hundred thousand drivers affected under worst-case immigration enforcement scenarios.

Even a loss of 100,000 drivers could disrupt deliveries, slow down supply chains, and lead to higher prices for groceries, fuel, and goods. The shortage comes as new immigration rules focus on drivers born outside the U.S., sparking concern in an already strained industry.

Lower the CDL age restriction. 
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
