Many businesses are closed due to Coronavirus pandemic. The trucking business, however, has been revolutionized in the midst of it all.

Challenges Faced by Fleet Businesses
After the initial rush, the transportation and trucking industry has seen a significant drop as they come face to face with the realities of stay at home orders. Many transportation businesses especially small fleet owners have been faced with financial hardships which have led them to employees laid off in order to meet up with the revenue losses.
