American Trucking Associations Volume 14, Issue 2 June 2018 Page 3 ATRI Seeks For-Hire Motor Carrier Operational Cost Data ATRI recently issued a data call for the update to its annual Operational Costs of Trucking report. Among the for-hire fleet metrics being requested are driver pay, fuel costs, insurance premiums and lease or purchase payments. Carriers are asked to provide full-year 2017 cost per mile and/or cost per hour data. Fleets that operate straight trucks are also encouraged to participate as the data for straight trucks is reported separately in the full report. The results of this data collection, combined with the previous “Ops Costs” reports, will yield 10 full years (2008 – 2017) of trucking cost information derived directly from fleet operations. This research provides carriers with an important high-level benchmarking tool and government agencies with real world data for transportation infrastructure investment decisions. “It’s not hard to understand why ATRI’s Operational Costs of Trucking report is among its most-requested studies – fleets large and small can use ATRI’s analysis to identify ways to improve your operating efficiency. We look forward to participating in this year’s data collection and encourage others to do so as well,” said Mark Droubay, president of Double D Distribution in Salt Lake City, Utah. For-hire motor carriers are encouraged to provide confidential operational cost data to ATRI by Friday, June 22, 2018. ATRI’s data collection form is available on the website at TruckingResearch.org. Participating motor carriers will receive an advance copy of the final report which will be released in September. Out and About with the ATRI Staff The ATRI staff are frequently asked to present research findings at industry events on topics ranging from truck parking to younger drivers to the role of autonomous technologies in the industry.

  • Trucking Industry Uses Election Spending and Lobbying Expenditures to Weaken Truck Safety Rules Through Backdoor Riders on Transportation Spending Bills
    June 24, 2015 Trucking Industry Uses Election Spending and Lobbying Expenditures to Weaken Truck Safety Rules Through Backdoor Riders on Transportation Spending Bills Large truck crashes kill 4,000 thousand Americans every year, and injure nearly 100,000 more at an economic cost of $99 billion. With such a devastating toll of needless death and suffering, the United States urgently needs enhanced truck safety measures. But it’s not stronger truck safety that’s on the Congressional agenda. Shamefully, Congress is instead acting to weaken truck safety standards. If the trucking industry succeeds with its investment of $78 million in congressional lobbying and campaign money since 2012 as this report reveals, the public will be paying even more with their lives and their wallets. On June 9, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an appropriations rider that would roll back a series of truck safety rules; similar life-threatening provisions are now under consideration in the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, which will consider them at a committee markup Thursday, June 25. These measures are not being passed through the normal process. They are not being considered in the committees of jurisdiction; they are not being passed after or in response to committee investigation and oversight; they are not evidence-driven in any way. Instead, they are moving as policy riders – incorporated as extraneous matters into must-pass Transportation Department spending bills. There is only one way to understand this Congressional action: With their campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures, big freight companies have leveraged their financial power to win legislative objectives to increase their profits.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    The true character of a team is revealed by how it responds to challenge, and in 2009 the Con-way team responded with remarkable focus, strength and resilience as we navigated through the most severe economic downturn in our company’s history. The year saw proactive and decisive steps taken to reduce costs and conserve cash. At the same time, our team kept an eye on the horizon: investments were made to prudently maintain our fleets, new service offerings were developed, advancements were made in technology tools, and our networks became more efficient — all to position ourselves for the future. The economic reset had far- reaching effects in the freight and logistics markets. Our principal operating companies — Con-way Freight, Con-way Truckload and Menlo Worldwide Logistics — each responded with strategies to address the challenges while maintaining reliable, consistent service. Con-way Freight: The principal challenge for our less-than-truckload (LTL) company in 2009 was managing through a rapid, severe decline in business volumes driven by the recession. Pricing, already weakened in prior years by increased competition and industry capacity that grew beyond market demand, declined at an accelerated pace, which pressured margins. Con-way Freight responded with diligent cost management and an emphasis on performance improvement for customers, implementing programs to increase network density, velocity, ease of doing business and service reliability. Our LTL company also turned in a superior safety performance in 2009, achieving its lowest accident frequency rate since 2003 and its best-ever showing at the National Truck Driving Championships, in which 88 Con-way Freight state champion drivers competed, with veteran driver Dale Duncan capturing the 2009 Grand Champion title.

  • 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.
