  • MAASTO Truck Parking Survey Analysis May 2018
    MAASTO Truck Parking Survey Analysis May 2018 Prepared by the American Transportation Research Institute Arlington, VA MAASTO Truck Parking Survey Analysis – May 2018 1 The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), on behalf of the Mid America Association for State Transportation Officials (MAASTO), completed a face-to-face survey with truck drivers regarding truck parking at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Kentucky on March 23-25, 2018. Goals of the survey are to monitor project awareness, ease of parking, personal safety, etc. in the ten-state region. The MAASTO region is comprised of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. 393 surveys were completed at MATS. To generate further findings, the survey is posted at www.trucksparkhere.com. In 2016, ATRI conducted the Phase I survey of drivers operating in the MAASTO region, to better understand issues in the region and inform TPIMS development. The Phase II truck parking survey results will be compared to the 2016 baseline survey. Truck parking is a critical issue in the trucking industry. “Truck parking” consistently ranks in the top ten industry issues in the annual survey conducted by ATRI, shown in Table 1. Parking scarcity impacts operational efficiency and directly relates to safety. If available parking cannot be found within a driver’s available Hours of Service (HOS), they may be forced to parking in an illegal or unsafe location or continue driving while fatigued.

  • Wabash National Corporation 2020 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2020 Letter from the President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Fellow Stockholders, The year 2020 will be remembered as an unprecedented period as the business world navigated through a global health crisis, softening markets, supply chain disruptions and global economic uncertainty. We learn the most about ourselves and our organizations from the challenges we encounter, and it is through these challenges that we prove what we are capable of doing. With that in mind, I couldn’t be prouder of how the Wabash National team responded to the challenges of 2020. In addition to overcoming obstacles brought about by the pandemic, we remained focused on our purpose of Changing How the World Reaches You™ by executing our first to final mile strategy and maintaining our resolve to structurally realign and reorganize our business as One Wabash. Together we are creating a new environment where we are: 1) prioritizing ease of doing business for our customers; 2) creating a growing portfolio of innovative engineered solutions that span from first to final mile; and 3) designing a culture that continually seeks to improve process via the Wabash Management System to create value for our customers, employees and stockholders. 2020 was a test of our human resiliency, and it was also a test of the strength of our product portfolio and the processes we’ve embedded within our business. Our process discipline enabled the company to absorb a notable reduction in volume while minimizing the impact to operating income, resulting in strength of financial performance never before accomplished during a significantly challenging environment in the history of Wabash National.
