In recent years, there’s been a lot of talk of change in the trucking industry just as there has been in many other industries as well. While technology evolves the way we do business evolves with it. For those afraid of change, this can be an intimidating fact of life. For those who decide to embrace change and look to the future, it can be invigorating.
In the midst of these fluctuations and metamorphoses, there’s been a lot of debate about the future of trucking and what the industry will look like. For those who are concerned, there are encouraging data that shows our sector remains strong with much opportunity for growth.
Recently, a trends report was released demonstrating the shifts in our industry aren’t necessarily challenges. In fact, there’s much good news to be had. For those interested in these details, the report includes the amount of miles driven collectively, the tonnage that was transported overall, key employment data, as well as the amount of taxes paid by the industry.
Even for the layman, it is easy to see the trucking industry is a robust part of the American economy (and actually the global economy as well), and that we’re not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, it’s quite possible things might be better than ever.
