June net orders of 22,000 were off 1% month-over-month, but up 42% year-over-year, according to the most recent State of the Industry: U.S. Trailers report published by ACT Research. Year-to-date net orders of 156k are up 45% over the same period last year, ACT reported.

“Strength in June came from specialty trailers, with platforms posting a 42% month/month gain while liquid and bulk tanks both surged over 75% from May levels,” said Frank Maly, director – CV Transportation Analysis and Research at ACT. “The industry is also enjoying low cancellations, driven by firm fleet investment commitments,” he added
