ATA reports tonnage boost in July: The amount of freight carried by the for-hire trucking industry in July, as measured by ATA’s monthly For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index, climbed 2.8 percent in July, pushing the index to its second-highest reading on record.
Tonnage was up 3.7 percent from last July, ATA reported, and up 3.4 percent year-to-date compared to the same time period last year. “After several soft months starting in February, tonnage really snapped back in July,” said ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello. “July was the single best monthly gain since November 2013.”
