Struggles Continue for the Trucking Industry in 2012
Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on YRC Worldwide and J.B. Hunt Transport Services
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 04/30/12 -- The Trucking Industry struggles look to continue in 2012. The American Trucking Association recently stated that the industry is expected to haul more freight than last year, but the pace of growth would most likely be slower than in 2010 and 2011. "March tonnage, and the first quarter overall, was reflective of an economy that is growing, but growing moderately," ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said in a release. "The pace of freight definitely slowed from the torrid pace in late 2011." Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Trucking Industry and provides equity research on YRC Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT).

The ATA last week reported that the Truck Tonnage Index rose 0.2 percent in March, a decline from the 0.5 percent in February. The index when compared with March 2011 rose 2.7 percent, which makes it the smallest year-over-year-increase since December 2009. According to Costello economic indicators show tonnage will increase going forward but not at the pace of the past two years (5.8 percent). "Expect tonnage overall this year to be up at a more moderate rate, perhaps less than 3%, which is more in-line with normal growth," stated Costello.
