A recent survey from Transport Capital Partners took a simple approach to assessing respondents’ industry outlook by simply asking: Is trucking starting to be fun again? As part of the fourth-quarter TCP Business Expectations Survey, trucking company executives responded to the query with a mostly positive reaction: A little more than 55% said, “some days,” while one-third answered, “Yes.” “Carriers are looking ahead to a positive year, though tempered by the continuing challenges of drivers, cost pressures, and HOS,” said TCP partner Steven Dutro.
