During a February Big Truck TV interview, FTR Associates President Eric Starks answered questions about the current state of the equipment market. Starks addresses the following issues:
- What is the current state of the nation’s fleet?
- Are the right economic ingredients in place for truck purchasing, so fleets can meet the market demand?
- Commercial vehicles with less than 600K miles are in short supply, so what does this mean for demand as manufacturers announce potential cuts?
