Texas Trucking Companies Have Difficulties

A recent survey done by truckdrivingcdljobs.com has found that trucking companies located in Texas are having a harder time finding employees that companies in the rest of the country.  While there may be a plentiful supply of workers for non-skilled jobs, the market for qualified truck drivers has dried up.  Some say it is because of the influx of Mexican immigrants who are willing to work for lower wages causing the pay for drivers to be lowered too.  Others point to the tightening standards for truck drivers brought on by CSA 2010.  But what makes Texas different for truck drivers?  The Texas Trucking Association has not been able to point to a single issue, but acknowledges that there is a problem.  A list of Texas Trucking Jobs found several companies listed that are no longer in business.  The companies that are in business reported a rough time finding drivers for their trucks.  No matter what side of the steering wheel you sit on, the jobs for truck drivers in Texas are plentiful, but not being filled very quickly.
