With the holiday season upon us, eCommerce retailers and consumers should be aware of the critical role trucking plays in the holiday season. Keeping everything moving and ensuring packages and purchases arrive on time for the holidays is essential to keep the season bright. Here’s why the industry is so critical to the holiday season and where to find box trucks for sale in San Diego.
Truckers Keep Holiday Roads Safe
Just during Thanksgiving, approximately 54.3 million Americans traveled more than 50 miles to see family and friends. The holiday season is even more hectic than normal, with an estimated 106 million Americans expected to travel over 100 miles over the next four weeks. Keeping these roads safe during the busiest time of year is a massive undertaking. That’s where truckers come in.
Professional drivers help keep the roads safe by bringing experience and training to the roads. When winter snow and ice come in, truckers adjust their driving to keep everyone on the road safe during the holidays.
Online Shopping and the Freight Industry
The freight industry is a crucial part of the online shopping process. Retailers rely on truckers to transport their products to customers, ensuring that everything arrives on time. This is especially important for retailers who rely on fast shipping times to keep customers happy and customers who want gifts to arrive on time.
Communities Need the Trucking Industry for Essentials
The trucking industry is essential for communities across the United States. Truckers are responsible for transporting essential goods, such as food and water, to communities that would otherwise be unable to receive them. Without trucking, these essential goods would not be able to reach their destination on time and some communities would be lacking clothing and other essentials.
Trucker Demand Increasing
The trucking industry is growing rapidly, and this growth is expected to continue. The trucking industry is critical to the holiday season, and demand is expected to continue to increase in the years to come. This is good news for truckers and the industry as a whole, as it means that there will be more jobs available in the future. The shortage also goes to show just how important the industry is to the holiday season, with demand ramping up even more during this period.

As one of the most in-demand professions right now and an industry at the frontlines of the supply chain, the trucking industry is worth billions of dollars. Here are some key facts about the industry, and if you are looking for commercial trucks for sale in San Diego, some tips for how to shop around.
Significant Revenue
The trucking industry generates significant revenue no matter the size of the trucking company. Multiple revenue streams, including truckload, regional, and long haul, account for the majority of the industry’s total income. 2020 revenue for the trucking industry hit $723.3 billion.
Major Employer
The trucking industry employs more than 1.5 million people, making it one of the largest employers in the country. Demand for truck drivers is also growing rapidly due to several factors. The first is the bottleneck in the supply chain and the need to transport goods quickly and efficiently across the country. Second is the increasing popularity of eCommerce, which requires large quantities of goods to be shipped in a short period of time.
Handles The Bulk of the Nation’s Freight
The trucking industry is responsible for the bulk of the nation’s freight. While some freight is moved by plane or train, the vast majority of it is handled by the trucking industry.
Represents Most Domestic Tonnage
Taking into consideration how many goods traverse the country every week, the trucking industry represents the majority of the nation’s tonnage. Domestic tonnage continues to grow as people and businesses become more mobile and the nature of business becomes more distributed. 10.23 billion tons of freight were moved by truck in 2020 in the United States, which represents 72.5% of domestic tonnage.
Important to the Tax Base
All those goods being transported across the country are generating tax revenue for the government. With every order and route, the trucking industry contributes to the nation’s tax base, contributing 24.4 cents in federal fuel tax on each gallon of diesel fuel and 30.3 cents on in-state fuel tax as of January 2021.
