Month-to-month the ATA For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index remained flat after gaining 1.1 percent in June. Bob Costello, ATA Chief Economist, forecasts truck tonnage in 2012 to grow by 3 to 3.5 percent. It is estimated that trucks haul nearly 70 percent of all tonnage in the U.S.
"July's reading reflects an economy that has lost some steam, but hasn't stalled," Costello said. "Certainly there has been some better economic news recently, but I continue to believe we will see some deceleration in tonnage during the second half of the year, if for nothing else but very tough comparisons on a robust August through December period in 2011."
