The drop yard service is part of Thermo King’s effort to help fleets and drivers manage hours of service regulations and to help fleets retain drivers by offering convenient and safe parking solutions. The tool also provides additional information, ranging from hours of operation to type of security. A rested driver is a happier driver, and the more alternatives a fleet can offer drivers, the greater the positive impact on driver retention. According to the CSCMP’s “State of Logistics” report, the current driver shortage of 30,000 is expected to climb to 300,000 by 2020. Retention is a major financial challenge for fleets, and the cost of replacing a driver averages $8,000. Thermo King is committed to offering customers real solutions to attract and retain quality drivers.
