The new hours of service are disrupting delivery windows concerning appointed freight. The high service expectations are changing. Distribution centers were built around how many hours a driver could drive, now less hours and less miles means not meeting those original expectations.  There are many other issues that we regularly hear about that are going to have a future impact. They say that a simple increase of 3% increase of GDP will show just how bad a driver shortage can get. Then we have new requirements of driver certification and what I believe to be an issue is the fact you can not drive a Tractor Trailer till the age of 21. Yes, safety is definitely an issue, but how do you come up with a compromise to consider the fact that a graduate from High School is not going to wait 4 years to start his/her career.
