The American Transportation Research Institute recently launched the 2024 Top Industry Issues survey, which asks trucking industry stakeholders to rank their top concerns, along with potential strategies for addressing each issue.
Now in its 20th year, ATRI’s annual analysis not only ranks the issues overall but also provides insights into how critical topics are ranked differently by motor carriers and professional drivers. The report also allows stakeholders to monitor issues over time to better understand which issues are rising or falling in criticality.
“For the past two decades, the industry has relied on the annual Top Industry Issues survey to highlight the challenges facing our nation’s supply chain,” Andrew Boyle, American Trucking Associations chairman and Boyle Transportation co-president, said in a news release. “ATRI’s research provides an opportunity for thousands of trucking industry professionals, from drivers to executives, to weigh in on the most critical topics that affect our day-to-day operations and collectively decide on the best strategies for addressing each.”
The results of the 2024 survey will be released Oct. 12 during ATA’s Management Conference & Exhibition in Nashville. Industry stakeholders are encouraged to complete the online survey, which will remain open through Sept. 27.
“Every year ATRI’s annual survey gives drivers an opportunity to make our collective concerns known,” said Chevelle Walker, an America’s Road Team captain and professional driver for Werner Enterprises. “Whether your top challenge is truck parking, driver compensation, detention, traffic congestion or something else, this is your chance to bring those issues to light.
“Please take a few minutes to complete the online survey.”
