Why Box Truck Driver Hiring is Different in Raleigh
The Research Triangle's pharma and semiconductor cluster (Wolfspeed's Chatham County fab, Apple's RTP campus build-out) has rapidly increased demand for temperature-controlled and oversized flatbed freight. RDU air cargo has grown significantly with life-science shipments. Raleigh's driver market is tight because the metro's white-collar dominance limits the local CDL labor pool.
