What Are Trucking’s Top Concerns for 2026?

The American Transportation Research Institute wants to know what's worrying trucking fleet managers, drivers, and other stakeholders in its annual Industry Issues survey.

With signs that the three-year-long freight recession is easing, will the economy still be the top concern for trucking in the American Transportation Research Institute's annual survey? Or will newer issues such as artificial intelligence and English language proficiency top the list? Will the driver shortage come roaring back as a top concern?

ATRI is asking motor carriers, truck drivers, and other industry stakeholders to identify trucking’s biggest concerns for 2026. This research arm of the American Trucking Associations has opened its annual Top Industry Issues Survey, which asks participants to rank the most important issues facing trucking and potential strategies for addressing them.
