According to The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), over 80% of carriers have seen a loss in productivity. Many have said they now need more drivers to haul a similar amount of freight as before the 2013 regulation. As a result, according to The American Trucking Association (ATA) there might actually be a shortage of available truck drivers for you to hire. And as the cost of licensing and training goes up, finding qualified drivers will be a problem.
I am sure there have been many issues encountered in your operations. Do you have any cost saving ideas to share? What about something you had to learn the hard way?
