In October, the American Transportation Research Institute issued results for their 2008 annual survey of Top 10 Critical Issues for the Trucking Industry. The results are provided in the table below along with the results from the previous 3 years.
Comparing annual results provides the following insights:
- The 'Economy' debuted as a critical issue for the first time in the 4 year history provided by the study. Of even greater significance is the fact it debuted as critical issue #2.
- 'Fuel' and 'Driver Shortages' were in the top 3 concerns for all 4 years.
- 'Government Regulation' continues to move up as a critical concern for the Industry. In 2008, it was ranked as #4.
