Although labor issues remain a significant challenge for respondents in the National Private Truck Council's annual survey, they continued to report retention and turnover performance far better than their for-hire colleagues.
(The latest American Trucking Associations turnover figures released, from the third quarter of 2019, showed turnover at large truckload fleets at an annualized rate of 96%, and 73% for smaller fleets.)
