Abstract
As the US economy slowly recovers from the economic recession that began in late 2007, product demand is shifting upward, increasing the need to move materials and finished goods through the various modes of transportation. Trucks or motor carriers transport about 70% of the freight in the United States (http://www.truckline.com 2006), yet during the economic downturn, several transportation companies shut their doors while others laid off employees. Although demand for truck drivers has always exceeded supply, this gap seems more pronounced than ever as companies seek to hire truck drivers to support the current economic upturn. In addition, the Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010 system launched by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) presents the potential for new obstacles in the hiring process (smart-trucking-jobs.com 2010), resulting in additional recruiting challenges for transportation and logistics firms.
