Welcome to Trucking Britain Out Of Recession, the transport industry’s new business barometer, organised by Commercial Motor and its sister titles and websites: Motor Transport, Truck & Driver, Roadtransport.com and TruckNet UK.
With your input, we can reveal the full extent of the impact of the recession, and then, month by month, track the industry’s recovering health and its ultimate return to growth.
By taking part in the survey and following its results (and the more of you that take part, the more robust that data is), you can benchmark your operation. The hard data generated by operators completing the monthly TBOOR survey will appear regularly in CM, starting next month. So, as and when the fabled green shoots of recovery appear, you should spot them first in the TBOOR reports over the next 12 months.

What’s the incentive?
Well, apart from helping your business and the industry in which you operate, everyone who fills in the survey will be entered into a prize draw. After a year, everyone who has filled in a survey will be entered into another prize draw; at this point each respondent will get one entry for every survey they have completed – the more monthly surveys you complete, the greater the chance of winning the prize.
Who’s backing Trucking Britain Out Of Recession?
This initiative is backed by the Road Haulage Association, plus many of the industry’s leading suppliers:
