Whenever we look back at any major event that\\u2019s happened - 9/11, 2008, afterwards we\\u2019ve all had to adjust to a new normal. And post-COVID is no different. We can\\u2019t simply pick up the pieces of our trucking business and resume where we left off, we need to adapt our operating procedures to the new requirements.\\xa0

So what is this new status quo? What does this new normal look like?\\xa0

Well, none of us have a crystal ball, but we can hazard a good guess.\\xa0

And so in this final episode of our three part mini series looking at the impact of COVID on the trucking industry, we discuss what the future might look like and what carriers can do to prepare themselves and their drivers for operating safely in this new normal.\\xa0

\\u201cI think in preparation for that, we have to go back to the basic fundamentals and look at our partners you know, the Fleetworthys, the Sambas, the Assurance of the world and say, \\u2018Hey, what do I need to do?\\u2019\\u201d

Because you\\u2019re not expected to have all the answers - use partners to help you find your feet, to guide you through new legislation and to show you short cuts that can keep your wheels turning.\\xa0
