The nationwide shortage of long-haul truck drivers brought on by the surge in e-commerce has trickled down to other businesses that depend on over-the-road truckers, and Sterling, Virginia-based JK Moving Services is among them.
JK Moving has increased its annual guaranteed income for experienced, over-the-road Class-A commercial drivers to a minimum of $100,000 a year. That is a 20% increase over previous pay for JK’s long-haul drivers. The company was already paying well above the industry average of just over $50,000 a year, according to Glassdoor.
