    The American Transportation Research Institute has opened its 2021 Top Industry Issues Survey, asking trucking industry stakeholders to rank the top issues of concern along with potential strategies for addressing each issue. The survey will remain open through October 15, 2021.

    Now in its 17th year, ATRI’s annual analysis not only ranks the issues overall but also provides details on where critical topics are ranked differently by motor carriers and professional drivers. The report also allows stakeholders to monitor issues over time to better understand which issues are rising, or falling, in criticality.

    “Completing this survey only takes a few minutes, but its impact can be immeasurable,” said ATA Chair Sherri Garner Brumbaugh, president and CEO of Garner Transportation Group. “The data ATRI provides will chart the course for the industry by providing a clear picture of the landscape we face.”

    The results of the 2021 survey will be released on Oct. 24 as part of the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition in Nashville.
