The American Transportation Research Institute recently launched its annual Top Industry Issues Survey, which asks the industry shareholders to rank the top issues of concern, as well as potential strategies for addressing each issue.
ATRI’s 16th annual analysis not only ranks the issues but provides details on where critical topics are ranked differently by motor carriers and professional drivers, which allows stakeholders to monitor issues over time.
“The data ATRI provides maps a course for the industry to speak with a collective voice on our most important issues,” said ATA Chairman Randy Guillot, president of Triple G Express and Southeastern Motor Freight.
The results of the 2020 survey will be released October 27, 2020, as part of the American Trucking Associations Virtual Management Conference & Exhibition.
“This year has been like no other we’ve seen and understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of the trucking industry’s top issues will be a key feature of this year’s analysis,” said ATRI Senior Vice President Dan Murray.
Industry stakeholders are encouraged to complete the survey available through ATRI’s website, which will remain open through October 16, 2020.
