Repairing the trucking industry’s image is critical to its future success, said Shepard Dunn, president of Vincennes, Ind.-based Bestway Express and 2014-2015 chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association, during a luncheon address at the 2014 CCJ Spring Symposium in Nashville, Tenn.
Trucking companies are increasing their bets on the U.S. economy picking up speed. Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. and Knight Transportation Inc. are ordering hundreds of vehicles to keep up with freight demand. They’re part of an industry-wide push that’s propelling sales of big rigs to an eight-year high, buoying trucking stocks and raising pay for drivers, who are in short supply.

Moving America forward. Designed to move a nation. These aren’t just slogans — they’re mission statements for two industries that are critical pieces of the U.S. economy. America’s trucking companies and railroads quite literally are the lifeblood of this economy; connecting farms to the dinner table, warehouses to stores and American businesses to consumers at home and across the globe.
