Avery Vise gives an update on for-hire trucking jobs and driver hiring activity.
This Q&A response from The FTR Experts came from our October State of Freight webinar. View the video and the key takeaways below.
Key Takeaways:
- After a strong recovery in the back half of last year, hiring flattened out through 2021 until things picked up in the summer.
- Although job growth has not been particularly robust since Q4 2020, pre-employment queries are much higher as carriers find it more difficult to find and keep drivers.
