    An ongoing truck driver shortage could get even worse in the next 10 years, according to a new report, which could pose many challenges to the trucking industry in Iowa.

    An American Trucking Association study says 60,000 driver spots are not filled in the U.S. Experts expect that number to grow to 160,000 in the next decade.

    In Cedar Rapids, West Side Transportation is looking for more long-distance drivers. Managers there are trying to add new technology to trucks, to attract younger drivers.

    Soon, drivers with West Side will log hours and any other concerns with their trucks using a new system.

    "It's all basically tablet-based," Justin Walters, director of recruiting at West Side, said. "It's a quicker system and people understand it easier. So we're doing things like that to try to push ourselves out there to get more to the younger generations."

    The study also suggested hiring more women and veterans to fill the shortage.

    Once we identified specific pain points through the discovery and observations process, we were able to recommend specific solutions to address those pain points, while also streamlining the hiring process.
    - Defined process ownership
    - Call to actions by user at specific stages of hiring process
    - Reporting & tracking to measure users within that process
    - Education & training were key in helping the users as they were not using Tenstreet's capabilities within the hiring process prior.

    Value & Impact
    - Detractors into buyers - users who were not sold on the capabilities and how it could help them within their own positions are now buyers, as they have a clear understanding of the process.
    - Measuring & Reporting - not just for management but for users to have knowledge about where their candidates are in the process and where they sit amongst their peers for production.
    - Reduce time to hire - by reducing time to hire, we increased applicant conversion and company revenue.
