Nashville, IN (February 8, 2009) Intermodal transport gained market share against trucks in the fourth quarter of 2009, reaching a new high in the process, a recent analysis by FTR Associates shows.
Nashville, IN (February 5, 2010) FTR Associates has released preliminary data showing January 2010 Class 8 truck total net orders for all major North American OEM’s were 6,221 units, the lowest level since July of 2002. The figure includes U.S., Canada, Mexico and Exports. January’s order activity was down 46.4% from December and was 20.1% lower than the same month a year ago.
Nashville, IN (February 2, 2010) Accelerating economic activity has led FTR Associates to increase its estimates of the amount of truck freight that was moving at year-end 2009. If sustained, the stronger freight picture will result in higher truck rates and better financial results for truckers in 2010 and higher truck and trailer sales in 2011.
