Jeremy Reymer is the founder and CEO of DriverReach, but he’s also a member of the research advisory committee for ATRI, the research arm of the American Trucking Associations.

He’s the guest this week on Drilling Deep, and he’s got a good perspective on one of the reasons why the driver market is so tight: CDL schools aren’t pumping out ready-to-drive candidates like they used to, all because of the pandemic.

Reymer also talks with host John Kingston about the upcoming ATRI survey of the biggest issues in the industry. There’s a new candidate this year: COVID-19. How will that end up in the closely watched poll?

Kingston also will talk about a quirky bit of diesel data that came out this week and what it says about demand.
