With the industry picking up after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies with large fleets are searching for experienced and professional truck drivers.
Trucking in the United States reports data of more than 136,000 trucking vacancies – needing immediate fulfillment. This number is expected to skyrocket by the end of 2023 as the industry is set to make a complete recovery from the pandemic.
However, as trucking jobs increase, more trucking veterans retire, and not many young people are interested in getting into a field that puts them behind the wheel for hours on end. As fleet demand grows, the fleet crowd shrinks. Drivers also demand more flexibility in their schedules with better benefits.
Some carriers have benefits programs while offering fuel and performance bonuses. They also make it a clear note that all work done by drivers is paid for – this means pick-ups, drops, border crossing, and time spent shipping and receiving.

As mentioned before, truckers now want flexible schedules and prefer working a standard Monday to Friday schedule with weekends off. Truck drivers are constantly looking for a reputable fleet to apply with – so they are aware of the difference that comes with joining a well-maintained and well-equipped fleet.
Fleets are now willing to compensate truck drivers to accommodate their needs as the shortage of truck drivers is increasingly evident. This includes better schedules with flexible hours, time spend on the road, and better benefits.
