    Filling those seats

      Last month, I talked about trucking’s continuing lack of long-haul drivers and the need to attract new candidates to fill those empty seats, as well as the barrier presented by the need to train large numbers of new entrants.

    Credit availability key piece of truck sales puzzle

    More restricted access to credit alongside higher sticker prices for post-2010 emission-compliant trucks are two key reasons behind the long slide in Class 8 orders that’s occurred from February through June of this year, according to several industry experts. Placed alongside a slowdown in freight volumes and a broader slump in the U.S. economy means it could take awhile for orders to regain their previous momentum....More

Home foreclosures will remain evaluated for an extended period of time as banks slowly work off their nonperforming loans. The available supply of home foreclosures entering the market will be a drag on new construction spending (Chart A)....More
