GP Transco

Some fleets are implementing pay raises for drivers early in the truckload market’s recovery.

GP Transco is installing solar panels on its entire fleet of around 600 trucks after testing the tech on 10 trucks over a six-month period. The company says the technology will save around $1,700 per tractor per year.

A prolonged period of elevated expenses has some fleets harnessing the power of the sun to mitigate the impact.

Transportation and logistics provider GP Transco said Thursday that OpenRoad TMS, which was developed internally, will now be marketed to other carriers.

A group of carriers and logistics providers has formed to raise money for the people of Ukraine.

Truckload carriers have been raising pay for 18 months now to meet heightened demand. But when this trucking cycle cools, don’t expect wages to follow in lockstep.

GP Transco is the latest carrier to raise driver pay. Base pay alone for company drivers moves 15% higher.

Driver pay continues to step higher as truck capacity remains very tight and consumer spending high.
