## [Truck Drivers, Logistics, and How We Strive to Keep a High Retention Rate.](https://hs.envirotechservices.com/blog/truck-drivers-logistics-and-how-we-strive-to-keep-a-high-retention-rate)

The transportation and logistics industry faces a significant challenge - driver retention. High turnover rates not only impact the bottom line of trucking companies similar to ours but also disrupt the supply chain and contribute to a shortage of experienced drivers within a company. Against the odds though, EnviroTech Services was able to maintain a remarkable 85% retention in 2023.

A thankless job by definition is simple; it is defined as a difficult or unpleasant job, that people do, and typically receives no recognition. Individuals or a career path that is overworked and underappreciated. When we think of a thankless job, we often consider farming, housekeepers, home healthcare workers, and caregivers. However, I would like to add another classification, CDL drivers, and more specifically snow pushers, or snowplow drivers. This group of CDL drivers is often out on hazardous roads and in conditions where most sane people stay inside and call into work. This brave group of individuals is first responders to some of the most horrific accidents that occur in dangerous weather.

As we sit poolside, sipping lemonade, winter can feel so far away. Simply out of sight and out of mind. It is understandably difficult to bother ourselves with concerns of bundling up and preparing for winter storms. However, it is during these times that we should make arrangements to stay one step ahead of Jack Frost’s unpredictable arrival. Let’s look at how and when you should prepare your winter deicing plan, acquire your supplies, and fill your shed for the months to come.
