Hello, Q2! Does anyone else find that 2024 is moving really fast? Three months of the year: Gone in the blink of an eye.

"How much will I make?" "What's the average pay per week?" These are among the first questions the driver recruiting team here at Anderson Trucking Service (ATS) hears when talking to drivers. If you’re like most drivers, one of your biggest concerns is pay. Maybe you have a family to support at home. Maybe you're trying to reach specific financial goals.

We’ve heard it for the last several years: “There’s a driver shortage.” But is there any truth to it? It’s not a simple yes or no answer. In truth, this phrase has been tossed around off and on for a decade — and probably long before that. Digging into the issue becomes more of an economics conversation than a people conversation, however, the issue is often oversimplified.

When you’re looking to make a switch, how do you determine which carrier to drive for — especially when you’re looking at some of the top-ranked companies in the industry? By now, you’ve probably done a ton of research to narrow your search to a company or two. But how do you take that search from two companies down to one?

January is here and resolutions abound. It’s the time of year for reflecting and making plans for a new year. Are you planning on shedding a few pounds? Hitting the gym more? Quitting smoking? Paying off your debts or boosting your income?

Do you want to be one of the highest-paid truck drivers in the country or even the world? Are you looking to make the next move in your trucking career? If you want to be one of the highest-paid truck drivers in 2024 and beyond, you may need to refine your skills and take a risk hauling oversized or hazardous loads.

Have you just earned your commercial driver’s license (CDL) and you’re ready to get out on the road with your fresh new license? If you nodded ‘yes,’ you're probably looking for a trucking company to call home and give you the industry experience you need. Perhaps you don't even have your CDL yet and you're looking for a company with a trucking school.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! (Or, for some, the most chaotic time of the year.) The stores are full, everyone is hustling and bustling from one event to the next and there’s tinsel everywhere you look.

November is here already…can you smell the turkey and dressing? As you well know, the holiday season officially begins in November and the end of the year is fast approaching. We’re navigating the last quarter of the year — a quarter that typically means more money in your pocket due to the movement of excess holiday freight.
