In its "ATA Freight Transportation Forecast 2023 to 2024," ATA said that truck tonnage is pegged to increase to 14.2 billion tons by 2034. While 2034 is more than a decade from now, it's not unexpected to see such a high estimate, especially when taking into account that now the ubiquitous mode routinely moves more than 70% of the nation's freight. Key data in the forecast included: overall truck tonnage will grow from an estimated 11.3 billion tons in 2023 to 14.2 billion tons in 2034; representing 72.4% of the freight tonnage in 2023 and 72.6% of tonnage at the end of the forecast period in 2034; and trucking's revenues will grow from $1.01 trillion in 2023 to $1.51 trillion in 2034 and account for 78.8% of the freight market. |
