Although the freight industry’s recovery is still in its early stages, the company is optimistic about “improving freight rates, improving customer sentiment, increased commercial vehicle quoting activity and significantly higher order intake,” President and Chief Executive W.M. “Rusty” Rush stated in the release.
The dealer expects Class 8 demand, in particular, to be “considerably stronger than the first half of the year” as market conditions improve while customers continue “planning equipment purchases ahead of the 2027 emissions regulations,” Rush said.
