NextGen has already implemented top-tier pay structures for it's drivers for the last 5 years. The average driver makes well over $0.50 per mile and some upwards of $0.65 per mile. NextGen would love to pay more, but the rates from carriers need to increase to accommodate that. Something has to to give soon or the so-called "driver shortage" issue will continue.

The Trucking Industry is changing by the minute and only the quick and nimble will survive. Only time will tell, but here are the five areas where changes are happening quickly:
Online load boards have traditionally not handled functions that come after rates are negotiated such as freight tracking and billing. Some new online services can manage transactions end to end.
In many ways, trucking is becoming more like the travel industry by sharing instant pricing information.
With 90 percent of motor carriers operating less than six trucks, mobile apps give brokers and shippers a way to automate communications with owner operators and small fleets.
A mobile app called Uber gives passengers instant rates between any local origin and destination and connects them to drivers to make a pickup within minutes. How could booking a truckload shipment ever been this easy?
To help attract and retain good carriers, several companies now offer free, online fleet management systems for fleets to dispatch their equipment and drivers.
NextGen is on the forefront in all these categories! Come join our team and explore the opportunities.
