A representative for an independent truck driver association told Fox Business that the Biden administration’s plan to fix the trucker shortage fails to adequately address the key problem of driver retention.

Collin Long, Director of Government Affairs for the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), told Fox in an interview that “the biggest problem, as far as driver workforce, is retention,” adding that President Joe Biden’s newly-announced Trucking Action Plan to Strengthen America’s Trucking Workforce does not do enough address this critical component.
