In the trucking industry, it's not just about driving, but a purpose. Trucking moves America. And, the way in which companies recruit and train today, will ultimately dictate the future.

What is a typical day like as a truck technician? How dramatically will the technology in trucks change in a decade from now? How much does social media influence millennials as future leaders?

Transport Topics Editorial Director Neil Abt's interview with Daimler Trucks North America Director, Advanced Engineering Derek Rotz

Goods move from air to ocean, rail to truck, and back again. Discreet modes of shipping, once considered highly competitive, now appear to be seamlessly joined. Disruptions, whether at port, en route, or between modes, threaten business efficiencies. Ask those in charge of the largest freight haulers in the world, and they will tell you that this is a sea change spurred, in part, by the need to create the most cost-effective service for shippers. But how do these firms do it? How do they identify partnerships and think through collaborative ventures? Where do they find the most efficiencies? How do they weather challenges -- at a global scale?

Bearth team up with Ron Drogan, President of Red Classic, to talk about the current plight of the private carrier.

Faced with growing demand for freight hauling and still constrained by a driver shortage, the nation's largest for-hire carriers are trying to wring more capacity for their operations. How are they doing so? Will smaller fleets learn from their new-found efficiencies? And what do these new modes of operating ultimately mean for both the driver and the fleet? Transport Topics Publisher Jeff Mason, Senior Features Writer Daniel P. Bearth, and an expert panel discuss these points in this segment.

Lorrie Grant's full interview with Con-way Truckload's Stephanie Klang.

What does the road look like for the woman driver? The need for drivers is at an all-time high. What happens when we turn the conversation towards particular talent pools, specifically women? What does the road look like for the woman driver? How is it changing? If there are changes, are the changes real? Lasting? And if so, what potential effect will they have on recruitment and retention practices? Transport Topics Managing Editor Lorrie Grant takes these questions to those closest to the matters in this special, driver-focused episode of LiveOnWeb.
