Abstract:
Driver turnover is one of the most pressing issues facing the trucking industry. Low job satisfaction has been identified as a major reason for turnover among employees. Conventional wisdom in the trucking industry is that low pay and lack of home time are the factors that cause driver dissatisfaction. This manuscript investigates this conventional wisdom and draws on the theory of met expectations to help identify other factors that lead to driver dissatisfaction. The results indicate that conventional wisdom is only partially correct, and that the factors that cause driver dissatisfaction are directly controllable by the firm.
