Updated Nov 9, 2017

CK Commercial Vehicle Research (CKCVR) announced Tuesday its fourth quarter Fleet Sentiment survey conducted in October reflects a strong freight environment heading into the new year with the driver shortage expected to be the largest negative factor affecting fleets.

CKCVR says key results from the Q4 2017 FSR survey include:

The 50 fleets represented in the CKCVR Q4 2017 survey represent a varied mix of fleet demographics; and in total, operate more than 37,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks (primarily Class 8) and 85,000 trailers.

CK Commercial Vehicle Research has been surveying fleets for more than a decade and data reported in the Fleet Sentiment Report tracks activity from 2006.
