In this episode, Lindsey talks to Dave Brannon from Evans Delivery and Ron Scholler of TransEdge, who supported a Touch A Truck event by donating a 2024 Volvo sleeper truck. They discuss the critical role of the trucking industry in delivering essential goods and the pressing need for diesel technicians. With a shortage of both technicians and drivers, repair times are increasing, yet the industry offers competitive pay and opportunities for career advancement. One of the challenges is attracting younger workers, prompting outreach to local schools for apprenticeship programs. Experienced technicians are in high demand but often leave for higher-paying positions. Despite these challenges, they highlight how with dedication and planning, individuals can find success, even by starting their own trucking businesses.
