Freight tonnage in February reached its highest level in three years, American Trucking Associations reported March 24.

The ATA For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index increased 0.4% in January to 113 from 112.5 in December as the industry regained some freight activity it lost in 2025.

Freight tonnage remained constrained with a slight sequential improvement in December, failing to overcome its generally lower levels, American Trucking Associations reported Jan. 20.

Trucking activity in the U.S. climbed slightly in November, but shipments remain at low levels, according to American Trucking Associations.

Freight tonnage continued to slow sequentially in October, reaching its lowest level since the start of the year, American Trucking Associations reported Nov. 18.

"September’s tonnage level was essentially the same as in September 2023, underscoring the tough freight market over the last few years,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello.

"While I’d like to predict a strong rebound in freight levels through the upcoming holidays, I can’t," says American Trucking Associations Chief Economist Bob Costello.

Freight tonnage in July showed an increase sequentially but a decrease from the prior year, American Trucking Associations reported Aug. 19.

The ATA For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index slipped 0.4% sequentially to 113.3 from 113.8 in May. The index also decreased 0.1% from the same time last year.

The freight market has remained choppy, with demand not demonstrating any clear patterns during the month of May, American Trucking Associations reported June 24.
