4,500 / 3,500,000 = 0.1% decline in truck drivers. The industry probably has outsized exposure to the escalating trade wars and increasing tariffs.

- paulddraper 7y agoAFAIK there is a greater percentage of trucking businesses going down than truck drivers. Consolidation. Amazon, etc. Article even says "It was the first time since March that truckers saw job losses."
- randogogogo 7y agoThis point wasn't clear to me reading the article. I got the impression that many of those bankruptcies were independent owner/operators but that the reporter was trying to downplay that and rather let us believe these were large operators on the brink of collapse.
