Truckers Are Aging Out. Who Will Replace Them? - Big Take
Dec 18, 2025 The Big Take | Bloomberg Podcasts
The trucking industry has long been dominated by older white men. But as those truckers steer toward retirement, who will replace them?
On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder hits the road with Bloomberg’s Jaewon Kang, who’s been exploring how one company is trying to transform its trucking workforce. And we hear from MIT’s Chris Caplice, DAT Freight and Analytics’ Dean Croke and two Walmart truckers about what’s working for the industry and the challenges it faces on the road ahead.
