This is nearly identical to the 34 percent who planned purchases during the first quarter of 2007, the research firm said May 11.

In all, 31 for-hire and private fleets participated in the current survey, which was conducted during the third week of April, the research firm said. Complete survey results will be reported in the May-June issue of The Fleet Sentiment Report.
