Participants reported supply chain disruptions and new consumer buying trends as having larger industry-wide impacts. Two themes emerged from the focus groups: (1) trucking company business strategies and adaptations and (2) truck driver experiences and workplace safety. Publicly available social media posts from Twitter were analyzed using a sentiment analysis framework to assess changes in public sentiment about the trucking industry pre- and during-COVID-19. Data from focus groups were coded using a thematic analysis approach. Individuals at multiple organizational levels of trucking companies (i.e., supervisors, upper-level management, and drivers) completed an online survey and participated in online focus groups. Data were collected from three sources: surveys, focus groups, and social media posts. This study examined how the pandemic impacted the trucking industry, focused on the pandemic’s impacts on company operations, health, and stress of trucking industry employees. COVID-19 resulted in health and logistical challenges for many sectors of the American economy, including the trucking industry.
