Cyber tips for the shopping season
In anticipation of the holiday season, many of us find ourselves increasingly shopping online to avoid crowded storefronts. Unfortunately, cyber scammers are paying attention and routinely amplify their tactics this time of year. With product shortages due to supply and shipping bottlenecks around the globe, scammers are using phishing tactics to target shoppers looking for those hard-to-find gifts.
Driver feedback: the key to retention in the transportation industry
For many years there’s been a lack of new drivers entering the trucking business. The U.S. is currently reporting a shortage of about 60,000 truck drivers. COVID has negatively impacted new drivers even more, preventing them from obtaining their CDL licenses because of the closing of many schools across the country. The pandemic has clearly made recruitment and retention the greatest challenge for trucking companies.
