Key Takeaways:
  • Little has changed from last month as ports remain backlogged, the labor shortage continues and truck and trailer production (and orders) are stuck in a holding pattern.
  • The supply chain is expected to show only modest improvement through 2022, and the outlook for heavy-duty reflects that.
