Former state job training and placement agent "Joe" joins Voice Of GO(r)D to tell us about his experiences with government funded job placement services, and how they are incentivized to push people into the trucking business, wether they are qualified or not, or have any hope of success in the business or not.
There are implications in this discussion for the driver shortage narrative, as what Joe worked in was a piece of the stealth corporate welfare system which trucking companies rely on to maintain their churning of bodies through the business, rather than improving drivers working conditions and pay in order to keep them around.
Perhaps if we weren’t shoveling taxpayer money into these systems, those improvements might come naturally.
"Joe" wishes to remain anonymous.
