[QUOTE="GameCockFan, post: 2990140, member: 44159"] In 10-20 years automation will cut the number of jobs in half, maybe sooner, INCLUDING DRIVERS and SUPERVISORS. It's only a matter of time. Self driving trucks are closer than you think and hub automation is just a matter of investing the money. Automated hubs need less supervision. The actual last mile of delivery may still require package drivers, but at that point it's even less of a skilled job and you will be replaced. I wouldn't recommend a job in transportation to anyone. With approx. 4 million truck drivers, It's going to be a huge hit to the economy. Especially since most drivers aren't well educated and make a fairly good wage for the skill required. I hope I make it to retirement with UPS, but I'm not confident. Look how the internet is killing brick and mortar locations and affecting UPS as well. B2B deliveries are much more profitable, but all the growth is in residential. [/QUOTE]
