Spring Hiring Surge

Introduction to Spring Hiring Surge

The spring season is upon us, and with it comes a surge in hiring from carriers across the country. As of Q2, we've seen a significant increase in carriers adding new routes to their networks. With over 85,470 FMCSA-verified carriers indexed on our platform, we've got the data to back it up.

What's Driving the Hiring Surge?

One major factor contributing to the hiring surge is the current state of the freight market. As discussed in our recent article on the hot freight market, certain lanes are experiencing high demand, leading carriers to expand their operations to meet the needs of shippers. Additionally, the recent diesel price increase has led some carriers to re-evaluate their routes and adjust their strategies to minimize costs.

Tips for Capitalizing on the Surge
