Industry InformationNational Truck Driving Championships
August U.S. manufacturing exceeds expectationsFor the first time in 19 months, factories in the U.S. expanded production, according to the Institute for Supply Management. The group's factory gauge uses 50 as the dividing line between expansion and contraction. ISM reported August at 52.9, exceeding forecasts and the highest level since June 2007. They attribute the gains to the Federal Reserve efforts to thaw credit markets, the "cash for clunkers" program, and tax credits for first-time homebuyers. Truck tonnage up for JulyThe American Trucking Associations' advance seasonally adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index increased 2.1 percent in July. In June, SA tonnage fell 2.4 percent. July's gain, which raised the SA index to 101.9 (2000=100), wasn't large enough to completely offset the reduction in the previous month. "While I am optimistic that the worst is behind us, I just don't see anything on the economic horizon that suggests freight tonnage is about to rise significantly or consistently," said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. "Still, even small gains are better than the February 2008 through April 2009 cumulative tonnage reduction of 15.5 percent." |
