In the upcoming year, this number is anticipated to go anywhere but down, a promising truth for truckers and other employees in the industry.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><b>Heightened Earnings &#8211;\u00a0<\/b>In what can be interpreted as more promising news for the industry, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that truckers made more on a weekly basis than the average American (FMI). As a matter of fact, the Bureau concluded that employees in the industry earned an average of $1,116 a week in 2022 (FMI).<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>The Negatives<\/h2>\n<div><strong>Driver &amp; Workforce Shortages &#8211; <\/strong>Caused largely by the COVID-19 pandemic, driver shortages have <a href=\"http:\/\/freightcheckers.com\/index.php\/benefits-for-shippers-receivers\/\">ushered in significant problems for many all across the industry<\/a>. Turning to a solution, a number of analysts and commentators have claimed that recruiting young drivers may help alleviate driver shortages, but this point remains contested by many. In 2023, it&#8217;s unclear exactly what lies ahead for ongoing driver shortages, and this uncertainty continues to concern the industry.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 id=\"work-with-freight-checkers-to-stay-in-the-know\">Work With Freight Checkers To Stay In The Know!<\/h2>\n<p>Curious about how our platform can help reduce fraud, and identity theft &amp; increase accountability in the trucking industry? <a href=\"http:\/\/freightcheckers.com\/index.php\/sign-up\/\"><strong>Sign up today<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to get up-to-date information on brokers, shippers, and carriers throughout North America.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/freightcheckers.com\/index.php\/contact-us\/\"><strong>Contact us today<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for additional information on how to get started!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at Freight Checkers, in addition to providing the trucking industry&#8217;s most comprehensive rating and monitoring service, we like to keep our patrons updated with all of the latest and most relevant news in the trucking industry.
