The episode features an interview with Rebecca Brewster, the President and COO of the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI). She discusses her background and how she came to work in the trucking industry. She explains ATRI's role as a non-profit research organization that identifies and addresses the industry's top research priorities through a diverse Research Advisory Committee, made up of relevant industry players from carriers, to shippers, to brokers, and vendors who support the trucking ecosystem. Throughout the episode, Rebecca highlights several recent ATRI studies, including research on the operational costs of trucking, which provides detailed benchmarking data for fleets, as well as studies on the growing issue of "nuclear verdicts" against trucking companies. She also delves into ATRI's work examining the challenges of electrifying the trucking fleet, a hot topic as a result of recent California regulation. This part of the conversation is especially compelling, as ATRI's research shows the significant infrastructure and grid capacity issues that would need to be addressed to meet the governmental requirements. Throughout the conversation, Brewster emphasizes ATRI's commitment to providing objective, data-driven research to inform decision-makers, rather than engaging in advocacy or lobbying.Rebecca stresses the importance of industry participation in ATRI's research process, as well as the organization's efforts to widely disseminate its findings through user-friendly summaries. She demonstrates ATRI's deep understanding of the complex issues facing the trucking industry and its dedication to helping address these challenges through rigorous, independent analysis.***Episode brought to you by Rapido Solutions Group.

ATLANTA — The nation's truckers provide vital resources during COVID-19 pandemic but the crisis has still had a negative impact on the industry as a whole, according to a report released today (May 5) by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA). According to the report, the global crisis has affected all aspects of trucking operations, including deliveries, travel times, detention and truck parking. The report also provides recommendations and guidance on future strategies should another national disaster strike. “The trucking industry has weathered national disasters in the past and is doing so again through the current COVID crisis,” said Rebecca Brewster, ATRI president and COO. “However, this latest data quantifies the challenges motor carriers and drivers are facing during this pandemic to keep essential goods moving.” Key findings of the joint research effort include: Long-haul trips are down considerably as container imports at ports dried up. At the same time, local trips under 100 miles increased by more than 100%. While certain segments of the industry, such as medical devices, perishable foods and paper products, saw solid COVID-19-related increases in truck traffic, nearly 50% of respondents described freight levels as “somewhat” to “much” lower due to COVID-19. Nearly 70% of specialized and tank truck operations were negatively impacted. In nearly every instance, smaller fleets reported greater negative impacts than larger fleets. More than 40% of respondents said truck parking was not any worse due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but categorized by fleet size, the larger fleets did describe truck parking as more difficult to find during the pandemic. The research confirmed that driver detention generally did not change due to COVID-19; however, owner-operators and small fleets experienced much worse detention delays relative to larger fleets. In terms of disaster planning, almost 80% of owner-operators and small fleets do not have any plan in place for managing operations during natural disasters. The trucking industry generally has a favorable attitude towards state and federal responses, policies and programs set up to address the pandemic, with the federal response viewed as more favorable than the state responses. “This research puts solid numbers to what we otherwise only suspected,” said Andrew King, research analyst for OOIDA. “While we may be turning the corner on the COVID pandemic, we're not out of the economic woods yet.” To download the full report, click here.

Guest: Rebecca Brewster from ATRI A leading trucking research organization has released an update to its “Crash Predictor Model” which shows how likely future truck crash involvement is based on driving behaviors such as prior crashes, violations and convictions to even gender and age. Listen as Eyes on the Road, presented by PrePass, host Evan Lockridge talks with Rebecca Brewster, the head of the American Transportation Research Institute, about this new study that draws on the data from more than 435,000 U.S. truck drivers and what it means for the trucking industry. Eyes on the Road is the official podcast from PrePass, the premier weigh station bypass service for the trucking industry in North America. The show is now available from even more podcast services, including Spotify.
The Trucking Industry is one of…….if not the single - most regulated Industry in the United States. Executives, Trade Associations, and Drivers spend a lot of time and resources in Washington trying to set the record straight. Making sure our voice is heard. Whether we are talking to Members of Congress, Administration officials, or members of the enforcement community- Talk is just that – Talk - unless you have data to back it up. Sound research that reveals the facts about trucking is the rock this industry leans against over - and over again. My guest today, Rebecca Brewster, is the Sargent and Head Coach who delivers when the Industry calls for help with that research. Recently I sat down with Rebecca in her office in Atlanta, Georgia for an hour-long conversation.
