This year’s analysis promises to contrast the perspectives of motor carriers against those of professional drivers, providing a longitudinal view of how specific challenges evolve over time. Greg Hodgen, CEO of Groendyke Transport and chair of the American Trucking Associations, emphasized that the findings serve as a primary guide for policymakers shaping the industry’s advocacy agenda.

For those behind the wheel, the initiative represents a rare opportunity to quantify daily frustrations. ABF Freight driver and America’s Road Team Captain Bob Bramwell urged his peers to highlight issues ranging from detention times at customer facilities to the persistent shortage of safe truck parking. The final results are scheduled for release on October 18 at the American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition in Charlotte, North Carolina.
