Freight Rates and Volume Prove to be Biggest Hurdles During Pandemic, According to Survey - NextTruck Blog & Industry News - Trucker Information. Earlier this month, ATBS conducted a survey of over 300 owner-operators about the effects of COVID-19 on their businesses.

When it comes to financial aid, 81% of owner-operators received the $1200 Economic Impact Payment, 53% applied for a PPP Loan, and 30% received funding. ATBS assisted 25% of the owner-operators in the survey with their PPP loan applications. When asked about emergency relief efforts, the majority of owner-operators surveyed have not had to operate outside of normal regulations during the crises. For example, 87% of those surveyed said they have not had to drive beyond HOS rules, 95% have not had to operate with an expired CDL, and 96% have not had to haul a load above weight limits.
