American Trucking Associations’ advanced seasonally adjusted For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index declined 0.8% in June, following a revised 0.9% gain the previous month. In June, the index equaled 128.6 versus 129.6 in May. The index is off 1.9% from the all-time high in November 2013 (131.0).

ATA said compared with June 2013, the SA index increased 2.3%, down from May’s 3.3% year-over-year gain. This year-over-year increase was the second smallest in 2014, following a 1% gain in January. Year-to-date, compared with the same period last year, tonnage is up 2.8%.

ATA reported the not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 132.3 in June, which was 0.5% below the previous month (132.9).

“June was one of those months where the data doesn’t quite match up with the anecdotal reports from fleets,” said ATA chief economist Bob Costello. “We had heard the freight volumes were good.”
