Tried to participate in your survey, but my job classification wasn't there. technically not employed as a driver. at the moment my cdl is just a convenient tool for my job as a ranch hand. trying to fix that, but getting employed is hard when you can only work part time due to college.

Hello everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. My name is David, and I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, working on my Master’s thesis in Supply Chain Management. My research focuses on gathering insights from truck drivers about regulatory reforms related to driver employment classifications and their impact on the industry.
A bit about myself: I’m a former CDL Class-A driver and a former freight broker, so I have a personal understanding of the challenges and dynamics of the trucking industry.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could take no more than 10 minutes to complete my survey. Your responses will be invaluable in helping me understand the unique circumstances and challenges faced by different driver groups.
