ATLANTA — Providing a comfortable and safe environment in truck cabs is critical when it comes to retaining and recruiting drivers. That was the main conclusion at a roundtable discussion called: “Spec’ing the Cab & Sleeper for Driver Comfort and Safety,” which was held at American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council annual meeting March 19.
“We have to do things as fleets to get drivers to come onboard. It’s not all about pay nowadays; it’s about what you have to offer and what kind of vehicles they’re going to be put into when they come to work for you,” USA Truck Vice President of Maintenance Jeff Harris told the audience.
