TRUCKING INDUSTRY ASKED TO RANK TOP CONCERNS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Transportation Research Institute, the trucking industry's not-for-profit research organization, today launched the 2025 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 21^st 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.

"For over 20 years, the industry has relied on the annual Top Industry Issues Survey to highlight the critical issues facing our nation's supply chain. ATRI's research provides an opportunity for thousands of trucking industry professionals, from drivers to executives, to weigh in on the most challenging topics that affect our day-to-day operations and collectively decide on the most promising strategies for addressing each," said ATA Chair Dennis Dellinger, Cargo Transporters President and CEO.

"ATRI's annual survey gives truck drivers an opportunity to make our collective concerns known. Whether your top challenge is truck parking, driver compensation, detention at customer facilities, 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 and encourage your peers to do so also," said Lloyd Howell, an America's Road Team Captain and professional truck driver for TCW, Inc.

The results of the 2025 survey will be released October 26, 2025, as part of the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition to be held in San Diego, California.

Industry stakeholders are encouraged to complete the 2025 survey available by clicking here. The survey will remain open through October 10, 2025.
