Trucking Through the Holidays, Santa Style

This year shows all the tell-tale signs of being one of the craziest Christmases ever.  December hasn’t even arrived yet and already, hot ticket items are selling out with no restocking date in sight like the ever-popular PS5 and some of the LOL doll line. 

Meeting Holiday Delivery Demand

COVID-19 is being blamed for some of the madness.  Research shows that in Christmases past, 62% of shoppers purchased most of their gifts just a week before December 25.  A whopping 85% of all purchases are expected to be made online for the 2020 holiday season. 

With truckers already overwhelmed keeping medical supplies and equipment, food and water, and TOILET PAPER in transit, the demands of holiday shopping are becoming and increasing issue.

“Expect delays,” Fox News reporter Lauren Pryzbyl warned on air Cyber Monday. 

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday have kicked off Christmas shopping throughout the past years, this season may prove to be the most challenging, according to Jason Clifford who has driven a truck for over two decades.  “COVID has instigated the shopping frenzy, I believe,” he stated.  “More people are working online from home and have shopping at their fingertips.  Plus, many of them want to avoid going to crowded stores so they are shopping online.”

When items are ordered online, the process involves delivering the items to the consumer versus simply shipping the products to a warehouse or retail store.  It has been reported that USPS, UPS,  FedEx and other mail couriers are already slammed with packages.  Now, delivery drivers, like those from Amazon, are joining in the holiday trucking scene too.  That means more independent and self-employed drivers are hitting the road.

With the surge in shopping, new delivery drivers are being hired by the dozens.  Many savvy job-seekers are flocking to purchase Box Trucks, Vans, and other Commercial Vehicles that are suitable for transporting and delivering holiday packages.  And, at the rate eCommerce is booming, they have high hopes of continuing their entrepreneur efforts even after Christmas, on into the New Year.
