The American Transportation Research Institute has launched its 2015 Top Industry Issues Survey, which ranks the trucking industry’s biggest concerns.
The annual survey is commissioned by the American Trucking Associations and asks trucking industry stakeholders to rank the top issues of concern for the industry. It also asks those surveyed what strategies could be used to address each issue.
"In complex times like this it is critical that we do our part to help ensure a thriving future for the trucking industry," said Duane Long, ATA chairman and chairman of Longistics. "With your participation, we can speak with a collective industry voice on the issues most important to us."
The survey is in its 11th year and the number of participants has grown each year, said ATRI.
The results of the 2015 survey will be released at the ATA Annual Management Conference and Exhibition, taking place from Oct. 17-20, 2015 in Philadelphia.
Industry stakeholders are encouraged to complete the survey on the ATRI website.
