Top 10 trucking concerns

So what keeps truckers awake at night? The American Transportation Research Institute, the trucking industry’s not-for-profit research institute, unveiled its list of the top 10 critical issues facing U.S. truckers.

The driver shortage and diesel fuel issues top the list in ATRI’s survey of more than 4,000 trucking industry executives.

Aside from driver shortage and diesel fuel, other “Top 10” issues are driver retention, Hours-of-Service, congestion, government regulations, highway infrastructure, tort reform, tolls/highway funding and environmental issues.
