The American Transportation Research Institute is calling for those in the trucking industry to rank the top issue of concern for the industry, as well as provide potential strategies for addressing each issue.
This is the 17th year ATRI has issued its Top Industry Issues survey, which allows industry stakeholders to monitor issues over time to better understand which issues are rising, or falling, in criticality. The survey also provides details on which critical topics are ranked differently by motor carriers and professional drivers.
“Completing this survey only takes a few minutes, but its impact can be immeasurable," aid ATA Chair Sherri Garner Brumbaugh, president and CEO of Garner Transportation Group. "The data ATRI provides will chart the course for the industry by providing a clear picture of the landscape we face."
The results of the 2021 survey will be released Oct. 24 during the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition to be held in Nashville, Tennessee.
The survey will remain open through October 15.
