Why is driver turnover in the trucking industry hovering at a staggering 99% despite the competitive pay? Elijah Cramer of Lanefinder explains the real reasons drivers are leaving the road!

We dive into the cultural disconnect between carriers and drivers, moving past basic perks like "family-owned" values to focus on the power of transparency and the impact of leadership "ride-alongs", how a lack of respect at shipping facilities and unpaid detention time are major pain points, and why the future of driver recruitment and retention now relies on leveraging AI to build authentic matches!
