The past few years have certainly brought their fair share of challenges to the transportation industry. We’ve navigated a pandemic, took on new regulatory requirements and dealt with a growing driver shortage.
To say it hasn’t been easy seems like an understatement.
And while we can’t say for certain what the future will bring, I do believe there is reason for hope as we enter 2022. There are also steps we can take for ourselves, and our businesses, to ensure that we make the most of these next 12 months.
As we analyze these last few years – as well as the industry shifts we see on the horizon – we believe that one of the best ways to set yourself up for a successful 2022 (and beyond) is to adopt a digital recruiting, screening and compliance system.
Here’s why:
Lastly, but perhaps even more importantly, is that it simplifies and improves your compliance. Experts agree that the vast majority of compliance violations are caused by improper recordkeeping – something that we see carriers struggle with increasingly as their driver count grows. An electronic, automated system that alerts you when documents need to be updated or when a file is incomplete, will help protect you from simple (but expensive) compliance mistakes. It can also cut the amount of time your company spends on compliance management by almost half.
As we look ahead into 2022, the big theme seems to be this: increased roadway safety. As the FMCSA and CVSA work together even more closely to ensure driver and carrier compliance, there has never been a better time to audit and reevaluate your own safety and compliance processes. In doing so, and by making the switch to a digital system now, you’ll be setting yourself up for a successful future.
