mangion staff writer it seems the lure of the open road catchy cb radio handles and coffee at the finest truck stops has lost much of its appeal in an increasingly hightech workforce but if trucking continues to fall out of favour as a career it could be harder to get your favourite products on store shelves and in the long haul con sumers will pay the price if a truck driver shortage in ontario isnt at the crisis stage yet it isnt far off said david bradley president of the ontario trucking association citing a federal government study calling for 80000 to 90000 new truck drivers in the province within the next five years mr bradley said a driver shortage is the biggest issue facing the industry today even if the study was only half right wed virtually have to replace our entire workforce by 2008 its not going to hap pen he said in the united states where some goods are unnecessarily sitting in ware houses demand for truck drivers has already reached a flashpoint and ontario isperilously close mr bradley said theres no silver bullet its going to take a lot of little things to make a dent mr bradley said truck driving isnt viewed as being particularly sexy it has been a long fall from late 1980s when government deregulation helped create a thriving trucking industry in the province but today despite industry efforts to make the profession more appealing to young people attrition and not enough new- drivers threatens to strip bare the ranks of ontarios 100000 truck drivers it could mean higher prices are on the way for consumers since as much as 90 per cent of goods in the province are transported by freight trucks bob morley has been a truck driver for 16 years a shortage of drivers will force shippers and receivers to pay more for transportation he said

ber of the road knights team veteran members of the ninedriver team act as ambassadors for the indus try including attending career fairs and speaking to high school students about the profession misinformation has turned many prospective young truck drivers away and more education will be needed to address that mir morley said a lot of people dont want to do the lifestyle but they dont understand what it takes you can go out there and make a reasonable salary and be home every night or you can make a lot of money being a long distance driver he said government has a jole to play in
