Industrial Production is at its highest point in several months and boasts a 2.5% increase from February 2012 to February 2013.
The ATA's Adjusted Monthly Truck Tonnage Index hit a fourteen month high in January. The index did retreat slightly in February from the January high by 0.7%. Even with the small decline, the February figure was the second highest the index has been in the past fourteen months. Overall the Truck Tonnage Index saw a 4.7% increase from January 2012 to January 2013.
Sales volume for TAB Bank's core group of clients in the month of March was at its highest point since prior to the holiday season.
"Many industry indicators are showing a renewed surge in economic activity through the first quarter of 2013. The Industrial Production Index is increasing at a more rapid rate that it has in some time and the Monthly Truck Tonnage Index from the American Trucking Associations is at its highest point in nearly a year and half. Both of these trends indicate great news for the trucking industry as it illustrates an increased demand in freight shipping which usually is an indicator of ramped up activity in other sectors of the economy. We are anxious to see how these numbers continue to develop as we progress further into 2013. We'll have to see what the budget sequester does to freight volumes in the coming months."
- Eric Myers, TAB Bank Vice President of Marketing
