Economy, Regulation, Fuel Top List of Trucker Concerns Quote: ATRI survey finds truckers shifting concerns, priorities in long-lasting recession The state of the economy and government regulation top a list of trucking industry concerns released by the American Transportation Research Institute. Driver-related issues, long one of the top three concerns cited by carriers surveyed by ATRI, slipped to sixth place as overcapacity led to a surplus of truck drivers. ATRI, the research arm of the American Trucking Associations, surveyed more than 4,000 trucking companies for its fifth annual report on the top 10 industry concerns. An overwhelming number of companies — 51.6 percent — ranked the economy as their primary concern in 2009. The economy ranked second last year. As health care and environmental regulation progress in Washington, government regulation became the top pick of 13.7 percent, earning the No. 2 spot on ATRI’s list. Although fuel prices remain much lower than last year, fuel costs were the third-most important issue, with 5.5 percent of respondents citing fuel as their top issue http://www.joc.com/node/413788
