Pandemic, many out of work.. no sporting events concerts etc but freight through the roof and rates going higher and higher...
Soo what's really going on here?
My guess less new drivers coming in.
Classroom then out with trainer and training doesn't sound appealing during a pandemic.
Have heard some DMVs , trucking schools still closed.
Then you have people fine with collecting unemployment...
I bet the switch to more online ordering vs people going to stores has something to do with it as well.
Economy is not in good shape but load/truck ratio up over 100% vs one year ago. WTF is going on?

Trucking isn't affected by a recession, except in a few specialty segments.
Even so, there's plenty of jobs for truckers, during the best and worst of times.bad-luck, Vampire, 86scotty and 1 other person Thank this. -

I'm o/o leased pulling automotive parts mostly, Ontario Canada to USA, i was shut down for 3 months but since they opened in July i'm moving very well. But, i can't see bright future for this kind of freight, people are buying basics, properties out of town, RVs not new cars.

We have been super busy, more than we can get to. It’s good paying also.
In my opinion, the economy as a whole is doing really well. There are certain sectors that are really hurting though. A fair amount of our work is tied to the entertainment industry, that industry is completely dead. Luckily other sectors are doing better than normal, and that has more than filled the void. -
