Since the COVID-19 pandemic first started affecting U.S. fleets in the intermodal sector, Heavy Duty Trucking's editorial team has been covering the impact on trucking. Now we've added a new COVID-19 Data Center and revamped our COVID-19 coverage hub to make it easier for readers to get the latest, most in-depth information on the pandemic.
The new COVID-19 Data Center offers access to HDT's ongoing surveys of our fleet audience regarding the effects of the pandemic. Colorful charts and graphs bring insight into questions such as what measures fleets are taking to protect employees, whether they have had any positive COVID-19 tests, and how the pandemic is affecting freight levels. This center also offers a link to sign up to participate in future surveys.
HDT’s COVID-19 Information Center is a revised and improved version of HDT's collected pandemic coverage previously available at www.truckinginfo.com/COVID-19. It includes full news coverage on the outbreak, as well as in-depth articles, interviews with fleets about how they are handling the crisis, commentary and analysis, links to on-demand webinars, and a link to the new Data Center. It also includes a link to HDT's existing page of outside resources at www.truckinginfo.com/COVID-19resources. This page focuses on outside resources, ranging from government regulatory documents to association COVID-19 hubs to best-practices information on COVID-19 health topics such as mask-wearing and truck sanitation.
