What Driver Shortage? Electric Trucks Give Fleets a Real Hiring Edge

Source: Fleet Management Weekly

Commercial fleets have been adopting electric vehicles for their long-term fuel and maintenance savings, but Benore Logistics has found another big benefit to making the switch: going electric is helping the company attract younger drivers – and keep them.

Benore Logistics operates a fleet of more than 700 trucks. The company is diving headlong into decarbonizing its fleet, investing big money in new, alternative fuel trucks that are helping Benore reduce its fleet’s harmful carbon emissions, total cost of ownership (TCO), and – crucially – employee turnover.

What’s more, Benore says younger drivers are more interested in sustainability and are more comfortable interacting with the technology that’s baked into newer trucks than their older peers.
