Sacramento and SETA Partner to Address Commercial Truck Driver Shortage
What happened
Sacramento and SETA formed a partnership to increase the number of commercial truck drivers available in California. The initiative aims to connect formerly incarcerated individuals to highly skilled trade positions. This effort comes as the California DMV previously cancelled 13,000 commercial driver's licenses held by non-citizen immigrant drivers.

Why it matters
The partnership addresses a critical need for skilled trade workers, as there are approximately 2.1 million job openings nationwide by 2030. Industry experts suggest that the ongoing shortage of truck drivers could lead to higher shipping costs for consumers.
