## Resource

Everyone talks about driver turnover. Few have the data to explain it. In this episode, Scott and Priscilla explore insights from PDA's largest retention study to date, analyzing more than 10 years of voluntary driver turnover data. The findings challenge common assumptions about why drivers leave and reveal how recruiting, onboarding, equipment, operations and communication all play a role. If you're looking to improve driver retention with data instead of guesswork, this episode is for you.
