That\u2019s why we wanted to produce a special report on trucking during COVID-19. How has the industry changed and adapted to these new times we all live in and what can it do to ensure continued progress for the industry? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">                                <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Did We Get Here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all remember it well. It seemed to come on almost in a\nslow creep before it hit full force in March. First, there was a\ncontainer-shipping disruption in China, then the news picked up and next thing\nyou know countries were going into lockdown. A declaration of national\nemergency in the U.S. followed not long after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those in the transportation sector knew this was going to be\na big deal. The world had not seen global disruption of this scale since World\nWar II. The hits to businesses were unprecedented. As toilet paper flew off\ngrocery store shelves, the world contracted in several ways. Trucking companies\nof all sizes all over the globe would be impacted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately for some, business picked up as people rushed\nthe stores. Obviously, there were major supply chain problems, but by the\nbeginning of April the big panic was tapering off. There was chaos in the\nmarkets as some fleets thrived, but many, many more dried up and went bankrupt.\nBusiness evaporated overnight for thousands of businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many companies tried to furlough their workers, took\nadvantage of government stimulus, and parked their trucks. But as time has worn\non and uneven lockdowns have disrupted local and regional markets, companies\nsimply went out of business. Those that were able to stay in service had to\nmake big changes as they adapted to the new reality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Focusing on Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded across the United States,\ntrucking and transportation companies made big shifts into protecting their\nemployees. Still, it wasn\u2019t easy. The virus was not well understood in the pandemic\u2019s\noutset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fleets had to make quick adjustments as medical advice\nchanged almost by the day. Whether it be the best use of sanitizing wipes, face\nmasks, or hand sanitizer, the goal posts shifted. It did not help that during\nthe midst of the pandemic, from April through October, guidelines from the\nfederal government and CDC shifted or were unclear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, motor carriers took concrete steps to protect their\npeople and their businesses. Some of the most common steps trucking companies\nhave taken include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Consistent training and communication around\npandemic best practices.<\/li><li>Thorough facility sanitization programs.<\/li><li>Gloves, masks, and sanitizer provided to truck\ndrivers and staff.<\/li><li>Hand sanitizer stations throughout facilities.<\/li><li>Increased staff working from home. <\/li><li>Facilities closures. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many companies have reported adopting measures to decrease\nin-person contacts and touch points between coworkers. Others are adopting\ntechnologies and methodologies for creating better communication over the air.\nThe fact is most trucking companies understand that truck drivers are front\nline workers in the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Problems Drivers Face<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truck drivers must deal with major on-the-job adversity during COVID-19. Not only that, but many truckers also face long wait times at shipping and receiving terminals, they must get temperature checks, and in many cases fill out health questionnaires. The requirements, though necessary, can be onerous. In some cases, truck drivers have been prevented from using on-site restrooms. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">                                <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other issues include ones of comfort as well. Consider how\nmany states and local municipalities have been shutting down restaurants, which\nleaves long-haul truck drivers with few options outside of prepackaged and\nunhealthy foods or some food locations that do curbside pickup. Others even\nused apps like DoorDash to have deliveries made straight to their trucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have even seen some franchise restaurants with truck\nparking access offer deliveries to truck drivers who can\u2019t get through a drive\nthru. We have also seen municipalities, local groups, associations, and law\nenforcement groups organize trucker meal drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have also been questions surrounding what to do if a\ntruck driver gets COVID while on the road. According to some recent industry\nsurveys, when asked if someone at their company had tested positive for\nCOVID-19, only 3% said yes. Another 7% said they were not sure or that tests\nwere not available. 10% said they could not release that information and 82%\nsaid that no one at their facility tested positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many trucking companies report that there simply is no\none-size-fits all way to address every situation that everyone faces in their\ncompany, whether it be truck drivers, back office workers, or anyone else. While\nfleet managers can do their best to plan for any situation, problems arise that\nmany are not prepared for. If a truck driver does have symptoms, many just help\nthem get tested, find medical care, and quarantine at home or on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some fleets are even offering additional financial benefits\nand healthcare help for truck drivers who come down with COVID. While these\nefforts are not consistent across the industry, many trucking and\ntransportation operators are stepping up their efforts to help the most\nvulnerable in their operation. Some fleets have even introduced hazard pay for\ntheir truck drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With truck drivers being treated as heroes during the\npandemic, by both news outlets and local officials, there has been an increased\nspotlight on these individuals. At one point, even President Trump staged a\nphoto op on the White House Lawn with a caption \u201cThank God for truckers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Protecting Non-Driving Employees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, trucking companies must also address protecting\ntheir back office and non-driving staff. Many fleets simply sent a lot of their\nemployees home to <a href=\"https:\/\/quicktransportsolutions.com\/blog\/how-trucking-companies-work-from-home\/\">work\nremotely<\/a>. In fact, many fleets have decided not to bring them back into the\noffice. Still, not every non-driving employee can work from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shop technicians, for example, must continue to work from\ntheir home base regardless of the situation. In many cases, shop managers have\nhad to shift scheduling and ensure technicians remain in isolation so that\npreventative maintenance intervals don\u2019t lapse. It certainly has been an adjustment\nfor technicians to complete maintenance on their vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because shops have had to change their utilization schedules,\ntractors and trailers simply aren\u2019t receiving the on-schedule maintenance they\nare used to. For many fleets, shop efficiency has dropped considerably. And\nthis during a time when truckers are needed more than ever. The problem is that\ntechnicians and truck drivers now need to spend more time disinfecting the\nvehicles, sanitizing equipment, washing hands, and changing their gloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has also been an ongoing discussion regarding best\npractices for disinfecting trucks. A lot of trucking companies run slip-seating\noperations. And while many fleets suspended those operations, others have been\ninnovating how to keep individual truck drivers safe and the trucks sanitized\nand clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even with all the measures trucking companies have\ntaken, there have been catastrophic consequences for trucking businesses during\nthe pandemic. They are impacted in more ways than we can count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chaos in Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been a lot of fluctuation and market chaos in the\ntransportation sector. Freight rates have been all over the places, which is a\ndirect result of the chaos imposed on the markets through the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/truckingresearch.org\/\">American\nTransportation Research Institute<\/a> (ATRI) put some numbers together using\nreal-time GPS data to evaluate trucking activity across six states between\nFebruary 9 and April 18. The study as designed to give a clear snapshot on how\nthe initial months of the pandemic impacted the trucking industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The data showed that from February into March, there was a\nbig burst in trucking activity as high demand items such as non-perishable\nfoods and paper products flew off the shelves. Emergency medical supplies then\nfilled the gap when grocery items were depleted. Then, in late-April,\nstay-at-home orders in many states resulted in a decline in trucking\noperations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, more than 60% of the fleets surveyed between the end of March and second week of April saw a decline in their volume of business. Only 21% of trucking companies stated they had seen an increase in volume. Even more interesting, 18% said that the pandemic had no impact on their business. Finally, 8% did not know or weren\u2019t sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">                                <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously, the amount of available freight has plummeted,\nwhich is going to have an impact. Join us in Part II of our special report when\nwe dig further into the decline in rates and how trucking companies are\ninnovating in the face of this ongoing pandemic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at the QuickTSI blog, we pride ourselves on providing first-class information that truckers, trucking companies, industry insiders, and industry advocates would find timely and useful.
