My thesis provides evidence supporting a theory asserting that the high level of
competition that exists between motor carriers operating within long-haul trucking is the most
significant factor contributing to the continuously high driver turnover rates affecting the entire
logistics industry. I explore how long-haul truck drivers internalize the conflict between their
identity and the aggressively competitive environment within which they work. Social science
authors, industry reports, and truck driver feedback from my own ethnographic study are
analyzed for contexts in order to explore the current operating definition of success for motor
carriers in both monetary and human terms.
