Truck tonnage continued to experience year-over-year declines in April, American Trucking Associations reported May 21.

Truck tonnage reached 13 consecutive months of year-over-year declines after a slight decrease in March, American Trucking Associations reported April 23.

Truck tonnage recorded a 12th consecutive decline in February while managing a month-to-month gain, a mixed result for an industry seeking signs of an emergence from its freight recession.

Truck tonnage started the year on the downslope, decreasing on an annual and sequential basis in January, American Trucking Associations reported.

Truck tonnage dipped in December, closing out the worst 12 months for freight activity since the pandemic year of 2020, American Trucking Associations reported.

Truck tonnage slipped in November as the industry’s freight recession lingers, but conditions are poised to ease heading into next year, American Trucking Associations said Dec. 19.

Truck tonnage on an annual basis declined for an eighth consecutive month in October but improved slightly on a month-to-month basis, according to American Trucking Associations.

Truck tonnage slumped 4.1% in September compared with year-ago levels, the steepest annual drop in nearly three years and an indication that the U.S. freight market remains turbulent.

Truck tonnage in August declined 2.3% compared with year-ago levels but inched up sequentially for the second consecutive month.

Truck tonnage in July declined by 3% compared with the same month in 2022, the fifth consecutive year-over-year decline and an indication that softness in the freight market persists.
