GAS STATIONS HIRING NEAR ME MOVIE

Prime Inc., one of the nation's largest trucking companies, has 12 truck terminal stops, three of which they advertise as "amenities buildings." The group's most recent building was built in Salt Lake City last year. Meg Larcinese, national sales manager at the Trucker Media Group, told The Times some of the showers at the luxury locations are comparable to five-star hotel accommodations. The publication reported that companies have begun advertising luxury truck terminals that include masseurs, entertainment rooms, and pet bathing stations. Some trucking companies are looking to address the lack of amenities on the road, according to The LA Times.
Stephens and other truckers pointed to bathroom lines that could span hours, as well as a lack of truck stops that often forces drivers to take their chances parking on the side of the road. "It's about being treated like a human being." "What people sometimes fail to understand is it's not always about the pay," Josh Stephens, a former trucker who working in the industry for 23 years, told Insider. The drivers said their decision came down to how they were treated on the road. Insider spoke with five truck drivers who left the industry this year, despite high freight rates. "Long-haul truckers can spend weeks on end away from home.
"The picture of the marketplace has not fundamentally changed," Stephen Burks, professor of economics and management at the University of Minnesota Morris, said, noting the pandemic failed to impact the turnover rate. But, Insider spoke with eight experts in November who said the notion of the shortage has been exaggerated, pointing to the long-haul trucking industry's over 90% turnover rate. Earlier this year, the American Trucking Association reported that there is a shortage of over 80,000 truck drivers.
