NOTE: Late papers (for whatever reason) will receive a 10 point deduction.
Instructions:
1. Read the provided material on the Truck Driver Shortage
2. Review the question(s) that are required to be answered in the paper
3. Develop your answers to the question(s)
4. Develop your defense of the answer to your question(s)
5. Look at outside information as required to defend your answer
6. Write the paper to answer the question(s). ENSURE it is full paper from beginning to end rather than simply a set of answers to the question(s).
7. Try and keep the paper to under 500 words but make it as short as long as needed to both provide an answer and defend the answer appropriately.
8. Turn the paper into the dropbox before the deadline
Questions to Answer in the Paper:
Truck driver turnover and the resulting shorts has become a national problem. Most are trying to solve the problem believing pay or other pay incentives will provide the answer. At the same time, things like hours of service and other regulations are making it harder to be a truck driver. Put yourself in the place of the CEO of a large trucking firm. Your turnover is approaching 100%. Write a paper that describes, in detail, three creative ideas that you would employ to increase driver retention beyond the ones in the literature provided. Keep in mind:
1. The ideas must be of your own creation
2. The ideas must be feasible, i.e. they must not add a significant amount of cost or complexity to the business although they can be new services.
3. The idea must be sufficiently detailed to understand a) why it is valuable, b) how it will be done, and c) the timing of the implementation.
