"The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics says that truckers have an average age of 48 years, which is getting higher as more drivers hit retirement. If this trend keeps up, it might create issues not just for trucking companies but also complementary businesses that depend on this industry for their income. These include companies involved in food service and mobile truck repair in Ridgefield, WA and elsewhere. Compounding this issue, society appears to be turning away from the trucker lifestyle. Whether because they promise more money or perks, white-collar jobs now tend to attract more people, even though these require college degrees. It is believed that this trend is contributing to the slow decline in the number of employed truckers."
