Survey indicates solid trailer orders through ’10
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Half of the fleets responding to a recent survey say they plan to place orders for trailers before the end of 2010.
According to the survey conducted by CK Commercial Vehicle Research, a majority of carriers are optimistic about adding trailer capacity in the second half of the year.
For-hire fleets comprised 68 percent of the survey participants expecting to place orders for new trailers in the next six months.
Respondents represented small, medium and large for-hire, private and government fleets operating in excess of 155,000 trailers.
In addition, the 2010 Trailer Study 23-page report includes charts, analysis and verbatim quotes from participants covering the changing dynamics of overall trailer demand, buying and specifying trailers, plans for adding new technology and how those decisions are made as well as fleet executives’ view on current deficiencies in trailer design.
