More Drivers Are Going Into Business For Themselves
[ A- ] / [ A+ ]
According to the FMCSA CSA database, the number of active, for-hire drivers rose by more than 10,000 drivers– from 155,249 in February to 166,810.
Some experts believe the growing number of for-hire drivers is the result of over-regulation. Qualified Carriers reported that carrier regulations have jumped more than 7.5% over the last 14 months. Many believe the shift is also the sign of a growing economy.
Jeff Tucker, CEO of Qualified Carriers, said that he believes many drivers sought the comfort and security of company jobs when the country was in a recession, but now, with the economy on the rise and the driver shortage, drivers are getting back into business for themselves.
