It's a job most Americans depend on without even knowing it. Right now, thousands upon thousands of truckers are rapidly trying to meet the demands of supermarkets, and hospitals all across the country. "We need truck drivers now more than ever to be on the road," Jennifer Licktieg CEO President of TBS Factoring Service. Just this week the Federal Motor Safety Administration reduced its hours of service regulation. Amid Covid-19 concerns, stores are hoping that means they will be able to re-stock soon. "It is an important thing for truck drivers. So, what that means is that truck drivers can spend more hours legally on the road," said Licktieg.
