Trailer Orders Best in January since 2006: ACT

Feb 27, 2012 2:04 PM

January  trailer net orders eased from December to 26,000 units, but they were the  strongest orders for the first month of the year since 2006, according the  latest State of the  Industry: U.S. Trailers published by ACT Research Co. (ACT).

“The  trailer industry is now entering its third year of the recovery cycle,”  reported Frank Maly, Director-CV Transportation with ACT Research.

“Rising  backlogs and low levels of cancellation activity add to the strength of demand  for trailers. Availability of component supplies will support slow growth in  build in 2012, but quantum leaps in production do not appear to be in the cards  at this time.”
