Thinking About Changing Trucking Companies? Why More CDL-A Drivers and Owner-Operators Are Talking to Beemac Trucking
If you’ve been thinking about changing trucking companies, you’re probably asking the same questions we hear from drivers almost every day.
Will I stay busy? Is the company growing? Is now a good time to make a move?
Those are fair questions, especially after everything the trucking industry has been through over the last couple of years.
From where we’re sitting, the market looks healthier today than it did this time last year.
Freight volumes haven’t changed dramatically, but that’s only part of the story. Across the industry, available truck capacity has been shrinking as bankruptcies, carrier closures, and stricter CDL enforcement have reduced the number of trucks on the road. As capacity tightens, truckload (TL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) rates are beginning to improve, creating new opportunities for carriers that have continued investing in their people and their customers.
Higher operating costs are also reshaping the industry. It now costs an average of about $2.34 per mile to operate a truck, putting significant pressure on many smaller carriers and owner-operators. At the same time, manufacturing, infrastructure improvements, energy projects, and data-center construction continue generating demand for freight across the country, especially for specialized and flatbed transportation.
As market conditions continue improving, we’re adding experienced CDL-A drivers and owner-operators to our team.
What We’re Hearing From Drivers
We’ve always believed that taking care of our customers is the best way to take care of our drivers. Many of our customers have trusted Beemac for years, and those long-term relationships help create consistent opportunities for our drivers, regardless of where the freight market happens to be.
When drivers call us, two questions usually come up right away: “How busy are things looking?” and “Do you have consistent freight?”
Those are conversations our recruiting team has every day.
We’ve also noticed that more drivers are asking about stability than sign-on bonuses. They want dependable freight, honest communication, and a company they can picture themselves staying with for the long haul. In today’s market, that’s becoming just as important as pay because drivers want to know they’re joining a company that’s prepared for the future.
Why Drivers Choose Beemac
The trucking industry continues to face challenges, including driver retention and changing regulations. Those realities aren’t going away, which is why we’ve stayed focused on the things we can control: operating safely, providing reliable service, supporting our drivers and owner-operators, and building long-term relationships with the customers who trust us to move their freight.
Choosing a new trucking company is a big decision, and we believe you should have the opportunity to ask questions before making it.
Talk with our recruiting team about the freight we haul, the opportunities we have available, and what you can expect if you join Beemac. We’d rather spend a few minutes answering your questions than have someone accept a position without knowing what to expect.
Whether you’re interested in local, dedicated, regional, or over-the-road opportunities, we’d love to tell you more about driving with Beemac and answer any questions you have about our company.
