The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has unveiled its list of the top 10 critical issues facing United States truckers. Commercial driver hours-of-service rules and the driver shortage top the list in ATRI's survey of more than 5,000 trucking industry executives. Aside from hours-of-service and the driver shortage, other top 10 issues include fuel issues, congestion, government regulation, tolls and highway funding, tort reform, and truck driver training.
The American Trucking Associations (ATA)-commissioned survey results and proposed strategies will be used by the ATA to better focus its advocacy role on behalf of the US trucking industry and ATA Federation stakeholders.
Survey results are available at www.atri-online.org.
