There has been a “major deterioration” in trucking conditions in October, according to FTR Transportation Intelligence. The FTR’s Trucking Conditions Index (TCI) fell to a -11.16 reading from the -2.35 reported in September — the weakest since it’s record low reading of -28.66 in April 2020.
“We do not see a month on the horizon as difficult as October was for trucking companies, but nor do we expect much for carriers to get excited about.”
— Avery Vise, VP of Trucking at FTR
