Editor's note: The original version of the brief in this post titled "Trail King recalls 30 years of trailer add-ons" incorrectly described the defect that prompted the recall. The error stated that a result of the defect could be detachment of "the pin-on axle or pivot extension" mentioned in the story -- that is not the case, however. Only detachment of shims is a possibility. The brief below has been updated to correct the error.
Trucking news and briefs for Monday, Aug. 28, 2023:
The American Transportation Research Institute on Monday launched the 2023 Top Industry Issues Survey, which each year asks trucking industry stakeholders to rank the top issues of concern for the industry, along with potential strategies for addressing each issue.
The survey can be completed here through Sept. 29.
Now in its 19th year, ATRI’s annual analysis not only ranks the issues overall but also provides insights into how critical topics are ranked differently by motor carriers and truck operators. The report also allows stakeholders to monitor issues over time to better understand which issues are rising, or falling, in criticality.
“I encourage my fellow drivers to take a few minutes and complete ATRI’s Top Industry Issues Survey,” said Ken Duncan, an America’s Road Team Captain and professional truck driver for Walmart Transportation. “Whether your top issue is truck parking, driver compensation, detention, traffic congestion or something else, it only takes a few minutes to make your voice heard and for us collectively to let the industry know what drivers are most concerned about.”
