A shortage currently exists in some segments for of the industry that could disrupt a significant portion of the distribution system. It's not a freight or equipment shortage; it's a shortage of qualified men and women. Companies are offering better compensation and benefits to attract and retain good people. The industry expects to need 80,000 new operators each year. The prospects for a rewarding career as a professional have never been better! According to a study conducted by the Gallup Organization for the (ATA) Foundation, the biggest chances will be for women and minorities in the future. The portion of the workforce segment which has traditionally provided most of the nation's operators, males aged 20 to 24, will grow far more slowly than new openings from 1994 to 2005, the study revealed. The population groups that continue to show the greatest labor force growth are women and minorities. An independent contractor owns his or her own equipment, and leases this equipment, together with his services, to a company to haul freight on a contractual basis for compensation, often on a percentage of revenue basis. Husband and wife teams are very common. Independent contractors make a good living, but, as in any small business, there is tough competition and there are some overhead expenses, such as fuel, insurance, and equipment purchases. Many independent contractors begin their careers as salaried drivers with a motor carrier before starting their own business.
