The Trucking Industry has experienced a slow, but steady recovery in 2012. The June increase followed a 1 percent drop in May, and was 3.2 percent higher than a year ago. "June's increase was a pleasant surprise, but the lower year-over-year gain fits with an economy that has slowed," said Bob Costello, chief economist for the association.
Avondale Partners analysts "failures report", released earlier this year, showed only 160 companies with an average fleet of 13 trucks went under during the first quarter of 2012. That number compares with 295 failures during the first quarter of 2011.
