Laura Pence Cohost of Fox Midday News Gives a News Update on Carolina AM

The Lewis Truck Lines says they’re working to keep up with demand as businesses are back up and running and they need good drivers. The company is based in Aynor and their trucks make daily stops at local hardware and grocery stores. They carry everything from mulch, to shingles, lumber, and even dry foods throughout the country. Right now Anthony is concerned about the shortage of drivers causing shipping delays. According to the American Trucking Association, about 240,000 new drivers will be needed in the next two years to keep up with freight growth.
