The American Transportation Research Institute today issued a call for truck drivers to provide data on their detention experiences at customer facilities. This latest data collection is part of a larger ATRI study examining the effects of detention on the trucking industry.
ATRI is studying the various impacts that truck driver detention has on freight movements and supply chains.
ATRI’s Research Advisory Committee (RAC) identified this issue as a top industry priority in early 2023. This survey asks shippers and receivers to provide input on their experience with several different components of driver detention. Responses will be incorporated into research that identifies solutions for managing and reducing truck driver detention.
