There is no "shortage" of truckers. Never has been and never will be. New truckers can be trained in a few months. Customers and employers just don't want to pay.

Claiming that there is a shortage of workers in a particular field is generally nonsense. Is there a shortage of gold? No, I can buy as much as I want tomorrow ... at the market price.

There is such a thing as elastic demand. If you can't find people to pick strawberries without paying $150 an hour, you are probably going to go out of business. That is usually considered a labor shortage.
