The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) is calling on the trucking community to participate in its 2025 Top Industry Issues Survey, giving drivers, carriers, and other stakeholders a voice in shaping the future of the industry.
Make Your Voice Heard in Trucking
The annual survey asks participants to rank the most pressing concerns facing the trucking sector and share potential strategies for addressing each challenge. Feedback collected helps identify trends and areas needing attention across the nation’s supply chain.
“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,” said Dennis Dellinger, American Trucking Associations chair and Cargo Transporters president, CEO. “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.”
Tracking Shifts in Industry Priorities
Now in its 21st year, the survey not only ranks issues but also provides insights into how priorities differ between motor carriers and professional drivers. It allows stakeholders to monitor trends over time, understanding which concerns are gaining importance and which are decreasing in criticality.
“ATRI’s annual survey allows truck drivers to make our collective concerns known,” said Lloyd Howell, an America’s Road Team Captain and professional truck driver for TCW Inc. “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.”
Survey Timeline and Results
The 2025 Top Industry Issues Survey will remain open until October 10. Results will be shared on October 26 during the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition in San Diego, California.
