Since June of 2008, Transport Capital Partners’ (TCP) quarterly Business Expectations Survey (BES) has become a frequently quoted bellwether indicator of the American trucking industry. By taking the pulse of trucking company executives across the country, the survey asks core questions every quarter on recent rate trends, future volume and rate expectations, and interest in buying or selling their firms in the future. Topical questions are also incorporated in each survey depending on current events, with previous topics including: credit and financing, equipment issues and plans, drivers, new regulations, trade cycles, and on other fleet sentiment opportunities and concerns. This is coupled with observations of TCP’s partners and associates engaged in advisory activities within the industry.
Stay tuned for the survey results and commentary.
