reports
“FTR reports that preliminary U.S. net trailer orders for September “exploded” to the third-highest month ever, at
52,000 units. September’s orders were 23,500 units above August and 33,400 more than September 2019. With this
latest activity, trailer orders for the last twelve months now equal 224,100 units.”

11. Volume
https://www.thetrucker.com/trucking-news/business/consumer-product-levels-on-the-rise-but-other-
freight-sectors-still-short
“Overall, the amount of available freight rose again in August, along with the rates paid to haul it. It’s gotten
so good that carriers are complaining about the driver shortage again. However, each carrier’s experience
can be different, depending on the type of freight and the company’s dependence on spot rates.
Member carriers of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) reported in August that freight levels are
down. The ATA For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index dropped 5.6% in August to 107.5 after declining 1.4% in July.
The ATA Index uses 2015 data as a baseline, so the 107.5 Index (seasonally adjusted) was 7.5% higher than
in 2015, but is trending downward.
Bob Costello, chief economist for ATA, attributed the decline to “uneven freight,” explaining, “The trucking
sectors that haul for the industrial and energy industries are not seeing the surge in freight like the
consumer side of the economy. The industrial loads tend to be heavier, so they count more in a tonnage
calculation than most consumer-related loads.””
