For the eighth straight month, the supply of Class 8 trucks has continued to rise faster than demand, according to the most recent ACT For-Hire Trucking Index from ACT Research Co.

In addition to overcapacity relative to current freight activity, a widespread inventory overhang is compounding the problem.”
