In a continuing effort to gauge the COVID-19 outbreak’s effect on the trucking industry, HDT has launched a second survey to measure how fleets are being affected around the country.
The industry is doing everything it can to make sure freight keeps getting to its intended destination, and HDT wants to know how you are protecting the drivers, dispatchers, and fleet professionals who are making it happen, as well as how the pandemic is affecting your business and how you're dealing with the disruption.
HDT's editors will use the information in our continuing reporting to keep readers informed on the latest on COVID-19 and how they can address its challenges.
In addition, if readers are willing to discuss their answers in more detail with one of our editors, there is an opportunity to share contact information at the end of the survey. Otherwise, the survey is completely confidential, and answers will be grouped with the others responding before being summarized and shared with our readers.
Click here to take our newest survey and help HDT further the industry’s understanding of this pandemic.
