ASA Central Network

Dear ASA family,

We have noticed an uptick in inquiries from staffing firms that staff drivers for trucking cos. seeking work comp solutions  for these positions-- which fortunately we have affordable comp programs for. Some drivers work directly for the trucking/ logistics co and some are owner operators.

Do you think this is more of an "blip" or sustained growth in a staffing niche?

Stay safe,

David

I think there is some short-term demand here due to the labor shortages and logistics issues and the numbers will come down once a better balance between demand and supply is achieved. I do think, however, that once the dust settles, there will be an increase in the staffing market share for this sector. So, if market share prior to this spike was "X" then I believe the new number will settle in at "X+Y." How much higher is anyone's guess.

David - Ii can tell you from my experience this is not a blip at all.  We are members of multiple Trucking and Logistics groups in the NE where the member companies are always looking for drivers.   This is going to be a long term deal not a blip....

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your comments/ feedback.  We work with a large PEO that has also seen significant driver/ trucking growth. They have grown to over 200M in the last 10 years.

A good friend of mine owned/ operated a FED Ex trucking bus and had about 20 trucks in MD. He was always looking for drivers, and these drivers worked 12 hour days / 5 days a week and were able to come home each night.  Still tough to find drivers. Most earned around 60-70K/yr.

I believe given this anecdotal information and employment data from the WSJ, I too believe it is a growth staffing niche where the EEs are paid a relatively high wage.

Stay safe

David
