order backlogs

Trailer orders are returning to pre-2020 normal rates, even with a 38% month-over-month decline in November.

Class 8 truck orders hit a 14-month high in November, surpassing 40,000 bookings amid a mired freight market.

Fleets waited two years for back-ordered Class 8 trucks. Now largely met, demand has shifted to replacement needs.

Truck manufacturers booked about 19,000 Class 8 truck orders in March, a manageable load that lets them whittle away at backlogs.

Class 8 truck orders fell to a seven-month low in April as manufacturers continued to restrict bookings over supply chain uncertainty.

Manufacturers kept the screws tight on new Class 8 truck orders in February as a lack of supply chain visibility maintained stable backlogs.
