Trailer study indicates good order activity through yearend

Half of the fleets responding to a recent survey conducted by CK Commercial Vehicle Research plan to place orders for trailers before the end of 2010. Respondents to the survey questionnaire represented small, medium and large for-hire, private and government fleets operating in excess of 155,000 trailers.

For-hire fleets comprised 68 percent of the survey participants expecting to place orders for new trailers in the next six months.
