The Texas Trucking Association said with all the challenges they're facing right now, we will see more empty store shelves.
"It adds to the challenge for anyone to be successful in this industry," President of Texas Trucking Association, John Esparza said. Esparza said it's putting a lot of pressure on truck drivers and trucking companies.
It's the perfect storm for the trucking industry, he said they already are still dealing with a truck driver shortage. This means people will be paying more for their products. He said in every aspect of life, whether you're traveling or sitting at home, you need trucks to roll. Without them, things come to a stop.
