Despite severe winter weather and ârenewed economic and regulatory pressuresâ on trucking, drivers were no more dissatisfied with their jobs in the winter of 2014 than they were two and a half years earlier, according to charts released this week by Stay Metrics.
Stay Metrics conducts âattitude surveysâ of drivers for carriers in an attempt to help them lower turnover rates, a practice the company began in 2012.
âRecent analysisâ of its latest surveys has âyielded surprising results,â it says, âgiven ongoing turbulent economic times and renewed economic and regulatory pressures on the trucking industry.â
The conclusion, as the charts below indicate, is that despite economic, regulatory and seasonal challenges, driver satisfaction as measured by Stay Metricsâ surveys has changed little since it began tracking it in 2012. Overall, according to Stay Metricsâ charts, drivers are somewhere between neutral and satisfied, leaning closer to satisfied.
