Are you a truck driver looking for stability and growth in your career? If so, it's important to join a carrier with diversified freight offerings. Jakob Leon, operations manager at ATS, shares valuable tips on how to identify these companies. One way to spot diversified freight companies is by looking for a mix of equipment types. This indicates that the carrier is able to handle a wide range of cargo and is not limited to specific industries. Another tip is to ask if the carrier operates across various industries. This shows that they have experience in different sectors and can provide consistent work opportunities. Lastly, checking if the carrier hauls a variety of freight is crucial. This ensures that they have a reliable customer base and can adapt to changing market demands. By joining a carrier with diversified freight offerings, truck drivers can benefit from market stability and have the potential for career growth. These carriers are able to remain stable even in challenging markets because they are not dependent on a single industry or type of cargo. Additionally, they support driver growth and lifelong careers by providing a wide range of job opportunities and the chance to gain experience in different areas. So, if you're a truck driver looking for stability and growth, consider joining a carrier with diversified freight offerings.
