Don Ake covers current and record backlogs regarding the heavy truck and trailer segments.
This Q&A response from The FTR Experts came from our January State of Freight - 2022 Transportation Market Update webinar. View the video and the key takeaways below.
Key Takeaways:
- Once supply chain issues subside and OEMs begin to take on more commitments, there will be heavy production and a new record backlog.
- Trailer OEMs are managing their backlog a little tighter than Class 8 is, leading to a wider gap between current and record backlogs for trailer.
