men and women.

According
to a study conducted by the Gallup Organization
for the (ATA) Foundation, the biggest chances
will be for women and minorities in the future.
The portion of the workforce segment which has
traditionally provided most of the nation's
operators, males aged 20 to 24, will grow far
more slowly than new openings from 1994 to 2005,
the study revealed. The population groups that
continue to show the greatest labor force growth
are women and minorities.
An independent
contractor owns his or her own equipment, and
leases this equipment, together with his services,
to a company to haul freight on a contractual
basis for compensation, often on a percentage
of revenue basis. Husband and wife teams are
very common.
Independent
contractors make a good living, but, as in any
small business, there is tough competition and
there are some overhead expenses, such as fuel,
insurance, and equipment purchases. Many independent
contractors begin their careers as salaried
drivers with a motor carrier before starting
their own business.
