NRS said the survey highlights a quandary for motor carriers... Joe Brady, vice president at NRS. said customers resist price increases, forcing carriers to absorb higher costs.

The survey showed that 42 percent of the drivers apply for two or three jobs at a time, and that almost 8 percent apply for more than 15 jobs at a time...
