Transport Topics (July 25, 2022)
Net U.S. trailer orders in June rose to 25,444, ACT Research reported July 22. It was an increase of about 10,000 orders compared with the preliminary number issued only days before. At the time the preliminary order volume of 15,300 was released, four leading trailer makers told Transport Topics they had not opened their 2023 order boards. Three then confirmed that remained the case after the revised number was released, and the fourth one did not respond immediately to a request for comment. A spokesman for a fifth trailer maker, publicly traded Wabash, chose not to comment. Wabash has scheduled an earnings call for July 27.
