AFAIK there is a greater percentage of trucking businesses going down than truck drivers. Consolidation. Amazon, etc.

Article even says "It was the first time since March that truckers saw job losses."

This point wasn't clear to me reading the article. I got the impression that many of those bankruptcies were independent owner/operators but that the reporter was trying to downplay that and rather let us believe these were large operators on the brink of collapse.
