The claim by Chris Spear of the American Trucking Associations that truck driver wages have increased due to a labor shortage is contradicted by data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Since 2010, inflation-adjusted wages for truck drivers have risen only 1.1%, revealing a stagnation rather than growth. While UPS drivers benefit from high compensation through union negotiations, the overall industry's wage performance highlights deeper issues like driver retention and poor working conditions, shifting the focus from a mere shortage to more complex economic dynamics.
