Why small fleets and owner-operators are finally getting respected - Small Fleet & Owner Operator Summit

In the US truckload market, some 90 percent of capacity is provided by fleets of 20 trucks or less and independent owner-operators. They've been the industry's unheralded player, the shock absorber that helps smooth over the ups and downs of boom-and-bust times. Yet if Covid has revealed anything, it is how these operators have proved their worth - and deserve our respect - for stepping up to help keep freight moving in an unprecedented capacity crunch. Schneider talks about the key role these industry stalwarts play for their network and customers. Ben Schuchart, Vice President of Operations at Schneider, is joined by CEO and Founder of Trucker Tools, Prasad Gollapalli in this fireside chat.
