Aim To Host Webinar on Industry-Changing CARB Regulations
Posted on 10/09/2023 06:37 PM
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has long been at the forefront of environmental regulations in the United States. While their initiatives are aimed at reducing emissions and improving air quality, out-of-state truckers often find themselves grappling with the complexities and challenges posed by CARB regulations.
CARB's regulations primarily target emissions from heavy-duty trucks and aim to reduce pollutants that contribute to air pollution and climate change. These regulations include stringent requirements for truck engines, fuel efficiency standards and the implementation of cleaner technologies. While these measures align with broader environmental goals, out-of-state truckers face unique challenges in complying with CARB regulations.
Hiring and Retaining Diesel Technicians
Posted on 08/04/2023 03:11 PM
In the rapidly evolving commercial transportation industry, the demand for skilled diesel mechanics is at an all-time high. These essential professionals play a critical role in keeping trucks and equipment running smoothly, efficiently and, most importantly, dependably. However, finding and hiring qualified diesel mechanics has become a significant challenge for many companies in the field.
One of the primary challenges in hiring diesel mechanics is the shortage of qualified candidates. As the transportation sector continues to grow, the demand for skilled mechanics is outpacing the supply of trained professionals. Many experienced diesel mechanics are nearing retirement age, creating a skills gap that the industry struggles to fill. Additionally, as technology advances, the role of diesel mechanics is evolving, requiring a new set of skills that may not be readily available in the current labor market.

Diesel mechanics are the backbone of the transportation industry. Unfortunately, though, the national technician shortage has been gaining momentum, especially during the last few years. Countless variables are contributing to the shortage, which means there’s no easy fix. Because of this, the recruiting environment is fierce, and businesses are having to get creative and dump a ton of time, money and resources to attract candidates from a shrinking pool of available qualified diesel mechanics.
