📣 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 📣 #ATRI has launched its 2024 Top Industry Issues Survey. The annual survey asks #trucking industry stakeholders to rank the top issues of concern for the industry 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 trucking stakeholders to monitor issues over time to better understand which issues are rising, or falling, in criticality. The results of the 2024 survey will be released October 12, 2024 as part of the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition to be held in Nashville, Tennessee. Industry stakeholders are encouraged to complete the 2024 survey. The survey will remain open through September 27, 2024.

DID YOU KNOW... Since 2005, #ATRI has been surveying #trucking stakeholders to identify the top issues of concern in the industry. In 2023, ATRI’s top industry issues survey generated over 4,000 responses from professional truck drivers, motor carriers, industry suppliers, law enforcement, driver trainers, and others. The full report – available from ATRI’s website – also details how truck drivers ranked the issues and for the first time, the 2023 report includes an analysis of the top concerns as identified by law enforcement personnel, who represented nearly 5 percent of respondents in the 2023 survey.  Click here to download the 2023 report - https://lnkd.in/gHCh2dxY And don't forget to stay tuned for ATRI's 2024 Top Industry Issues Survey which will launch Monday, August 26, 2024. #TruckingResearch

Happening today at 2pm ET, there's still time to sign up. Don't miss the webinar featuring ATRI President Rebecca Brewster with a discussion on the challenges faced by women in the trucking industry. #TruckingResearch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - ATRI Seeks Motor Carrier and Freight Broker Input on Industry's Cargo Theft Crisis As part of its priority research on the growing problem of cargo theft, #ATRI is asking motor carriers and brokers to participate in a new data collection initiative. Cargo theft – which has evolved from thieves simply stealing cargo to sophisticated impersonation schemes – is becoming more common according to some industry stakeholders. In March 2024 ATRI’s Research Advisory Committee (RAC), citing FBI statistics that indicate $15 to $30 billion is lost to cargo theft annually, voted to prioritize research on the topic. While the problem of cargo theft is growing, many industry stakeholders are hesitant to publicly provide cargo theft data. ATRI’s survey is designed to confidentially and anonymously collect accurate loss data as well as identify successful counter-strategies used by both motor carriers and freight brokers. “Cargo theft is a pervasive issue that won’t go away without a collaborative effort,” said Ben Banks Vice President of TCW. “With accurate cargo theft data, our industry will be able to quantify the issue, and work more effectively with law enforcement and commercial insurance to combat this costly problem.” Motor carriers and brokers are encouraged to complete the survey.

If you're attending the ATA Women In Motion Symposium today (8/15) you don't want to miss the 9:15 am CT session featuring ATRI Research Analyst Abbigail Huffman where she will provide insights into #ATRI's latest research on the challenges faced by women truck drivers. #TruckingResearch

DID YOU KNOW… #ATRI’s recent study on the challenges faced by women truck drivers – which included input from thousands of truck drivers, motor carriers and truck driver training schools – identified six key challenges faced by women drivers entering and staying in the industry. The research also identified specific issue areas for each challenge and provides a roadmap for how the industry can collectively mitigate these challenges.
