Only FTR tracks the movements of 209 commodity codes across all modes of transportation to measure the demand for freight and equipment in the system. We give you an equipment forecast based on empirical data from industry-leading sources and the OEMs directly, so you can base your business decisions on reliable data from our award-winning Freight•cast™ forecasts and not be caught off guard again.
 
We also provide expanded coverage of transportation & logistic issues, freight segmentation, commodity analysis, modal analysis, truck productivity, and capacity utilization

"One of the biggest values I see from FTR is their relationship with us, particularly during times of crisis. FTR has been more than monthly reports and data, but has invested time to answer our questions and discuss their perspective on the truck market. As a department responsible for market intelligence, having access to not only FTR information, but the minds behind it is a huge support. Eric, Jonathan and Don have gone above and beyond to be available, especially during the current 2020 COVID crisis and we have been impressed by their commitment to their customers."
