Arlington, VA – Trucking industry
stakeholders are invited to participate in a free webinar to hear senior
economic experts share their information and insights on the critical trends
that are shaping the trucking industry. While there have been some
promising signs of recovery during the past year, increasing fuel prices,
sluggish growth in certain fleet sectors and a shortage of commercial truck
drivers have combined to put increasing pressure on the industry.
The webinar will cover current economic
indicators such as truck freight volumes, supply and capacity issues, fuel
prices, truck and trailer sales, driver employment figures and wages, as well
as provide an outlook on the national economy. The webinar will also
include a discussion on the future opportunities and challenges facing the
trucking industry.
The webinar will feature:
- Steve Tam, Vice President, Commercial Vehicle Sector, ACT Research
- Tavio Headley, Associate, Equity Research, Jefferies & Company (Invited)

motor carriers, shippers and other industry stakeholders can expect in the
coming year.
