The American Transportation Research Institute – the trucking industry’s not-for-profit research organization – has launched its annual survey to find out the industry’s top issues of concern.
The 2025 Top Industry Issues Survey also asks trucking industry stakeholders for potential strategies for addressing each issue.
Now in its 21st year, ATRI’s annual analysis not only ranks the issues overall but also provides insights into how critical topics are ranked differently by motor carriers and professional drivers.
“For over 20 years, the industry has relied on the annual Top Industry Issues Survey to highlight the critical issues facing our nation’s supply chain,” said ATA Chair Dennis Dellinger, Cargo Transporters President and CEO.
He added: “ATRI’s annual survey gives truck drivers an opportunity to make our collective concerns known. Whether your top challenge is truck parking, driver compensation, detention at customer facilities, traffic congestion or something else, this is your chance to bring those issues to light.”
The results of the 2025 survey will be released October 26, 2025, as part of the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition to be held in San Diego, California.
