Article that speaks to driver shortage issue? (July 20, 2005)

Letter to Webitor:

At our Certification Board meeting, it was mentioned that there is an Automotive Digest article that speaks to the driver shortage issue. Do you know where/how I could get a copy of that article?

Webitor Response:

We did a search and found three digests that pertain to the driver shortage. You can find them at these links (you will need to register with AD.com if not already). From the digest you can link to the original article if necessary.
