According to ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello, the trucking industry’s ongoing recovery from the recent freight recession is built to last—and it’s being driven by tighter capacity rather than a surge in freight demand.

Years of rising operating costs and falling rates pushed many carriers out of the market between 2022 and 2025. Now, stricter enforcement of safety regulations—including CDL training standards, ELD compliance, and English-language proficiency—has further reduced excess capacity and pushed freight rates higher. Even with Class 8 truck sales expected to rise 14% this year, fleets are mostly replacing older equipment rather than expanding.

While overall freight demand remains relatively flat outside of booming AI and data center construction, and low distillate stocks warn of high diesel prices this fall, Costello expects this supply-driven recovery to have plenty of runway ahead!

The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) just unveiled its 22nd annual Top Industry Issues Report, gathering insights from over 3,000 trucking stakeholders across the country.

Unsurprisingly, fuel prices surged from outside last year's list to claim the #1 spot for 2026. Meanwhile, for the first time since 2012, truck parking fell out of the overall Top 10 to #11—though it remains the #2 concern specifically among professional drivers, highlighting the ongoing need for safe, accessible places to park despite recent federal investments and private expansion efforts.

This year’s panel discussion also spotlighted the critical push for tort reform to combat "nuclear" lawsuit verdicts, as well as the growing role of safety technology in protecting drivers and fleets on the road. Finally, a special thank you and congratulations goes out to ATRI President and COO Rebecca Brewster, who presented her final report before retiring in February after 34 years of dedicated service to the trucking industry!

Diesel prices continue to climb across the industry, clocking in at $6.285 this week. With prices showing no signs of dropping anytime soon, maximizing fuel efficiency is more important than ever for everyone out on the road.

Here are four simple ways to cut down on fuel consumption and stretch every gallon:

Slow Down: Keeping speeds between 60 and 65 mph is the sweet spot for fuel economy. Driving above 75 mph burns significantly more fuel.

Cut Idling: Turn off the engine whenever possible. Idling burns nearly a gallon of diesel per hour without moving a single mile.

Check Your Tires: Always verify tire pressure before hitting the road. Low pressure increases rolling resistance and wastes fuel.

Drive Smoothly: Avoid aggressive acceleration and hard braking. Maintaining steady momentum is one of the easiest ways to save at the pump.

Stay safe out there and keep rolling smart!

Indianapolis police are urging truck drivers to plan their routes carefully after commercial vehicles repeatedly encountered a low railroad bridge downtown with just 12 feet, 4 inches of clearance.

These incidents have caused traffic backups and required officers to help manage the situation. Police are encouraging drivers and carriers to use truck-specific GPS and navigation tools to avoid low bridges and restricted routes.

A little route planning can go a long way toward keeping traffic moving and drivers safe.

Maryland is putting planned toll increases on hold for another year.

Following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, officials estimated the closure would result in $143.9 million in lost toll revenue through its anticipated reopening.

The state had planned to move a scheduled toll increase from 2028 to 2027 to help recover those losses. However, Gov. Wes Moore has directed the Maryland Transportation Authority to pause toll increases for the next year, a move expected to save Marylanders at least $50 million.

The new Key Bridge is currently expected to open to traffic by 2030.

Road rage can quickly turn dangerous. Several states are considering or implementing tougher penalties for aggressive driving, including tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and speeding.

Stay calm, keep your distance, and don't let another driver's actions put you at risk.

U.S. trailer orders saw a major jump in September, reaching 42,700 units, up 311% from the same time last year and 75% from August.

Industry experts point to replacement demand, improved carrier profitability, and customers ordering ahead of potential price increases as key factors driving the surge.
