Several data on trucking industry variables go into FTR’s monthly Trucking Conditions Index: freight volumes, freight rates, fleet capacity, fleet bankruptcies, fuel price and financing. The individual metrics are combined into a single index that tracks the market conditions that influence fleet behavior. A positive score represents good, optimistic conditions. A negative score represents bad, pessimistic conditions. The index purports to show the industry’s general health at a glance.
