Trailer orders stay strong in November
COLUMBUS, Ind. — Trailer orders in November were up 3% month-over-month, with strength concentrated in the dry van, flatbed and liquid tank segments, according to the most recent data from ACT Research.
ACT’s State of the Industry: US Trailers report noted the 3% improvement came on the heels of a more robust 43% gain in October.
“On a year-over-year basis, total net orders of 25,670 units were up 17%,” said Frank Maly, director, CV transportation analysis and research at ACT. “Cancellations continued to be low, and that appears to be the result of firm commitments by fleets.”
