The world needs more truckers. If we could learn anything during the pandemic about logistics and essential jobs, it would be the importance of truckers for, well, everything we need! According to the American Trucking Association ATA, trucks move approximately 72.5% of the freight, a.k.a all the stuff you need, in the US.
Now you can listen to our blog posts!
Today more than ever, more truckers are needed on the market. The ongoing challenges from supply chain disruptions make truck drivers essential to keep products flowing, especially this holiday season! As a result, finding loads may be easier now than ever, which can provide job security for every new trucker on the market.
Also, rates increased 13% in October compared to 2020. Supply chain challenges, driver shortage, and constant demand will drive future rates increases for the rest of 2021 and throughout 2022. In addition, the global economic reactivation makes freight transport crucial to maintaining the stock of products as it should be.
