Why Power Only Driver Hiring is Different in Allentown
The Lehigh Valley has become one of the top 5 US e-commerce warehouse markets because it sits within a 2-hour drive of both NYC and Philadelphia via I-78. Amazon alone operates more than 10 facilities in the valley. Driver demand is so intense that regional wages have risen 25%+ since 2019, and local communities have pushed back on further warehouse permits.
