Trucking always has been a male-dominated field. But with the driver shortage in the United States, it’s time to start recruiting women truck drivers, if you haven’t already.

We live and breathe all-things risk here at HNI, and when it comes to risk control, a concept we like to explore with clients and prospects is owning vs. renting your risk.

There are two more health care reform requirements for employers to be aware of: IRC Section 6055 and IRC Section 6065. (IRC stands for Internal Revenue Code.) These filings aren't due until the beginning of 2016 (for coverage offered in 2015), but collecting the data you need to complete the forms will require some legwork that you can prepare for now by implementing new processes or HR technology.

Long haul trucking, like the rest of the transportation industry, is feeling the pinch of the driver shortage. Companies are doing all they can to attract long haul truck drivers — from sign-on bonuses, to guaranteed pay, to wellness plans. Others are hiring recruiting companies or spewing print and digital ads at every opportunity.

Getting in trouble with the law is pretty much the last thing on someone’s mind when starting a wellness program, right? Of course!
