• TCP, ACT Research to collaborate on Business Expectations Survey

    Oct. 15, 2014

    Transport Capital Partners (TCP) and ACT Research will collaborate on the quarterly TCP Business Expectations Survey.

    ACT will provide data analysis to the TCP survey, which is now in its seventh year.

    “We can view recent trends, but trucking executives are forward focused leaders. Will perception determine reality or reality determine perception? Who better to ask than industry leaders whose viewpoints are invaluable in understanding the future of trucking?” said Richard Mikes, survey leader and TCP partner.

    Among the topics and questions the survey addresses are capacity and freight rates, finding and retaining drivers and new truck sales. Also, what do the owners of truck lines see in the coming months?

    The Business Expectations Survey will answer these questions in regard to rates, volumes, equipment purchases, key costs of operation and more.

    The next Business Expectations Survey will launch on October 16, 2014. Carriers interested in participating should visit transportcap.com/industry-survey for more information.
