TORONTO - Oct. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- In a new infographic posted by Canada Cartage using Transport Canada statistics, research shows that the number of qualified drivers is out of balance with the expected supply of professional drivers, creating what the industry has been predicting as a massive “driver shortage” by the year 2020.

While the job market in Canada is expected to grow by 0.8% by 2020, the marketplace for trucking jobs will grow at a faster rate of approximately 1%.
