Big rigs left idle in Amarillo

"As U.S. industries begin to climb out of recession, another problem faces companies trying to move their products - freight is stuck on the loading docks."

"I've got freight that I can't haul because I need truck drivers," said Dudley Baldwin, owner of Baldwin Distribution, of Amarillo. "The last six months we've been advertising for drivers. Currently I need 20 drivers. It is the same way with everybody else in the industry."
