## Description

ATA Truck Tonnage jumped sharply in February. Q3 is a useful test of whether that rebound has staying power once the market gets deeper into the year. This market captures the average strength of for-hire truck volumes during the quarter rather than asking a simple yes-or-no threshold question.

## Resolution criteria

Average the seasonally adjusted ATA For-Hire Truck Tonnage Index for July, August, and September 2026. Round to one decimal place. Source: [American Trucking Associations](https://www.trucking.org/)
