Strong orders for dry vans and reefers boosted June’s total to nearly 27,900 units, a 73% jump over May, according to the most recent State of the Industry: U.S. Trailers published by ACT Research Co. (ACT).
“Although not the strongest June on record (that was the 32K volume of June 1994), the June 2015 order surge is exceptionally early, with strength coming from dry vans and reefers,” said Frank Maly, Director–CV Transportation Analysis and Research at ACT.
