Joshua O’Keefe hopes to soon be on the road in a truck of his own. He just turned 21, and he is exactly whom the trucking industry is looking for.“Young people don’t want to get into this trade,” said CDL instructor Krzysztof Hoffman. “Everybody’s short – small, large, mid-size companies – everybody’s looking for the drivers right now.”
