Wabash said it's been seeing increased demand for trailers, such as this one, a good sign the industry is recovering.
The company says it has seen increased demand for trailers, and it attributes the need for new employees to improvements in freight demand and general strengthening of the economy.

"Our Lafayette operations are beginning to see production and customer demand levels not seen since 2008," said Brent Yeagy, vice president and general manager of Transportation Products Group for Wabash National. "We are excited to see order levels finally growing to a point that creates a need for additional associates."

"While it is too early to declare that recent demand will prove to be sustainable, we are none the less encouraged by the increased quote and order activity of late, "said Dick Giromini, president and CEO of Wabash National. "We are hopeful that the addition of the new hires will be long-term."
