Auburn, AL. (Nov. 30, 2020) – On October 26, 2020, The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) released its annual Critical Issues in The Trucking Industry survey results. The survey identified the top 10 most critical issues facing the trucking industry as well as breaks down top issues facing company drivers, owner-operators, commercial drivers and motor carriers.
PTP Transport, a small fleet, industry leader, has listened and revamped their onboarding process to address the top issues facing company drivers.
First, the survey indicated driver compensation was the number one issue. PTP offers 6.89% higher than national average annual compensation. With the annual national average being $58,000 in 2019.
