ATA reports truck tonnage gains for March, but notes April is expected to be lower

The ATA’s advanced seasonally-adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index for March—at 120.4 (2015=100)—saw a 1.2% increase. And the ATA’s not seasonally-adjusted (NSA) index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment and the metric ATA says fleets should benchmark their levels with, was 120.9 in March, topping February’s 108.2 reading by 11.2%.
