Storms Impact Truck Tonnage in September

Truck tonnage declined in September, though it remains ahead of last year, reports the American Trucking Associations.

“Tonnage gave back some of the solid gain in August, but remains at very high levels despite the weather-related issues during the month,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “Going forward, rebuilding from those hurricanes and other natural disasters like the wildfires in California will add to freight demand.”
