Not all agencies will survive the next few years.
The ones that do will be the ones that:
- Invest in compliance properly
- Build genuine relationships with drivers
- Work closely with customers instead of sitting at arm’s length
- Price fairly and transparently
In 2026, businesses aren’t just asking can you supply drivers?
They’re asking can you protect our operation?
That’s a very different question.
How Businesses Can Get Ahead Now
Getting ahead doesn’t require a complete overhaul. It starts with a few key shifts:
- Review how predictable your work actually is
- Reduce unnecessary agency fragmentation
- Build partnerships instead of transactional relationships
- Have honest conversations about pricing, planning, and expectations
The businesses that start doing this now will have a clear advantage later.
Where Avail Fits Into This
At Avail, we’re already working with customers and drivers with this demand in mind.
That means:
- Encouraging better planning and forecasting
- Protecting driver quality and compliance
- Building pricing models that reward consistency
- And focusing on long-term sustainability, not short-term fixes
We don’t believe the future of logistics is about shouting the loudest or racing to the bottom on price.
We believe it’s about alignment — between drivers, businesses, and agencies.
The Bottom Line
Supplying drivers isn’t just a ‘once a week’ thing.
It’s being shaped every minute of the day.
Drivers are becoming more selective.
Businesses are under more pressure.
And the gap between planned and reactive operations is widening.
The question isn’t whether things will change — they already are.
The question is whether you’ll be ready.
