The Trucking Jobs Report Numbers

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

eTrucker Staff posted an article on Friday that went over the most recent trucker jobs numbers. Here are the most recent numbers from the report.

-6,800 trucking jobs lost in July.
that brings the trucking industry total up to 77,700 jobs in 2009 and 128,100 since the overall economic decline began in late 2008.

One thing worth mentioning that other articles have failed to point out is the fact that these numbers do not include truck drivers that work for private fleets. Most certainly the little guys are feeling the pain of the economy. The job loss numbers therefore could be treated as a minimum number rather than the total number.

The trucking industry as whole is now down a MINIMUM of 13.2 percent. (if we go by the statement we made a few moments ago). Truck driving jobs peaked in January 2007 and employed almost 1.5 million. Certainly a drop of 13.2 is a big number but all the buzz about an economic recovery should make it so the number does not grow too substantially.

Many media outlets have recently run articles about how those laid off across the country have filled many truck driving schools. With so many people getting CDL training it may be easier for trucking companies to find  new employees once the economy turns around.

The positive thing to take away here is the slowing of the job losses. The article also mentioned that previous months numbers have been revised showing employment levels were slighty higher than previously reported.

NAFTA Issue Costing Trucking Companies Money

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Large Trucking Companies like CR England Inc. are certainly getting hurt by recent tariffs. One of the biggest is Mexico’s new 20% tariff on frozen processed potatoes. A Tariff on this product impacts trucking companies especially hard.

According to the Department of Agriculture, the U.S. exported roughly $78 million worth of frozen potatoes last year, making it among the most heavily traded commodities subject to the new tariff..

Dan England, chairman of C.R. England Inc., told Transport Topics that, because of the tariff, “we’ve had six loads canceled so far from one of our shippers.” (the link to the entire story is below)

Dan England was also quoted, “I would suspect that we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg on this thing, and it’s going to have a significant impact on us.”

According to Dan England, For CR England, freight bound for Mexico accounts for about 15% of total revenue. He also noted that it is a part of our business that is quite profitable.”

“C.R. England hauls 250 to 300 loads of goods a week to Mexico, including potatoes. England said that while fresh and frozen potatoes may be the company’s biggest commodity, it “may only be 5% of our business.””
