SOCIAL HILL, Ark. — Truckers stopping at Arkansas' Social Hill rest area along Interstate 40 received free protective masks Thursday, April 30. The masks were distributed by officers from the Arkansas Highway Police division of the Arkansas Department of Transportation. “We have individuals from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the Arkansas Highway Police and the Arkansas Trucking Association all out here trying to get PPE (personal protective equipment) to commercial truck drivers, making sure that they have masks, hand sanitizer and things that they need to keep them healthy while they're out working,” said Shannon Newton, president of the Arkansas Trucking Association. The Arkansas Highway Police received protective masks to distribute to truck drivers as part of a coordinated effort by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide one million masks to truckers around the nation. “We're part of a massive effort to issue right at one million masks to commercial truck drivers traveling the nation's highways. Last Friday Arkansas Highway Police received 100,000 of the one million masks. We've started handing them out at all of our weigh station facilities as well as sites such as this rest area,” said Jay Thompson, chief of the Arkansas Highway Police. “We've issued probably close to 30,000 of them.” Randy Ort, deputy director and chief operating officer for the Arkansas Department of Transportation, said mask-distribution efforts in the state will be ongoing. “We're handing out these masks at all weigh stations around the state,” he said. “We're not really planning events. It's about getting the truckers the masks that they need. I think as we've all learned through this event, it's very important to keep our economy going. Yes, public health is extremely important, but it's also important to keep the economy going. And one of the biggest parts to keeping the economy going is keeping commerce moving. We at ArDOT are very happy to be doing our part to keep that part of the economy going.” In another effort to help the nation's truck drivers as they deliver essential goods during the COVID-19 crisis, the state's DOT granted permits to food-truck operators to provide food for truckers at some Arkansas rest areas. “We are happy to be a part of this effort to support the commercial transportation industry in Arkansas,” said Lorie Tudor, director of the Arkansas Department of Transportation. “This emergency has truly opened the eyes of many about how important the role of a truck driver is to this country.”

This is the fifth and final episode in a series recorded at the Recruit and Retain Conference in Nashville earlier this year. Some of you may know it as the R&R conference. This episode contains a compilation of multiple interviews who we spoke with at the conference. In this week's episode, we will be speaking to Todd Hensley, Vice President at Driver iQ; Scott Dismuke, Director of Agents at Professional Driver Agency; and Shannon Newton, President at Arkansas Trucking Association. Listen in to get the lowdown on some of the challenges and possible solutions surrounding recruiting and retaining long-term professional drivers. These experts will share the top trends and their predictions for how the industry will need to handle recruitment and retention going forward. “I think recruiting is a complicated problem and I think the solutions are equally complicated. We can have an impact on the image of the industry and educating people on the types of professions that exist in the industry and teach young people that you can earn a good living without going to college.” - Shannon Newton from Arkansas Trucking Association What you’ll learn about in this episode: The frustration, cost, and time it takes to find qualified long-haul drivers The fact that the older generation of drivers are beginning to retire and it is getting more difficult to find young drivers willing to be away from home for weeks at a time The high rate of driver turnover and career switching within the trucking industry and how proper hiring and training can reduce drivers leaving the industry The structural changes which need to take place within the industry if it is going to remain thriving and attracting qualified drivers The negative effects of litigation and how new regulations continue to have an impact when it comes to hiring drivers The inspiration behind the Professional Driver Agency and how it can help drivers to find secure jobs while assisting companies to find drivers ready to get to work The guests' predictions concerning the future of the industry over the next three to five years
