THE SUPPLIERS WHO GET PRODUCTION RIGHT

DON'T RELY ON WHAT ALREADY HAPPENED.

Demand cycles in the trailer market don't telegraph themselves. Order boards swing. Backlogs tighten without warning. And the market intelligence leaders at the best suppliers aren't scrambling to interpret last quarter's shipment data — they already know what's coming next.

This bundle pairs two days at the FTR Truck Track with 12 months of the N.A. Trailer Analysis & Outlook — the monthly forecasting service built specifically for the teams responsible for getting production right.

THE PRODUCTION CYCLE IS SHIFTING.

IS YOUR FORECAST KEEPING UP — OR CATCHING UP?

Order boards are moving. Freight demand is sending mixed signals. And somewhere between OEM build schedules, raw input commitments, and inventory positions, the cost of a wrong forecast isn't just a line item — it's a write-down, a production halt, or a missed window you won't get back.

The market intelligence leaders at the best truck and trailer suppliers aren't guessing. They're building their production plans, inventory targets, and material purchasing decisions on a forward-looking view of where demand is actually headed — by trailer type, by segment, updated every month.

The difference between the suppliers who absorb a downturn and the ones who get caught overextended usually comes down to one thing: how far ahead their forecast was looking when the cycle turned.

This bundle was built for the teams who can't afford to find out the hard way.

01

FORECAST DEMAND. DON'T JUST TRACK SHIPMENTS.

Internal shipment data tells you what's already happened on your floor. FTR's Freight•cast™-powered trailer forecasts tell you what fleet operators are likely to order next — driven by freight demand fundamentals, not trailing order board activity. Monthly production forecasts by van, tank, and vocational trailer give your planning team a forward view that internal data can't build on its own.

02

TWO DAYS BUILT FOR THE EQUIPMENT SIDE OF THE MARKET

Truck Equipment Day (8/31) at the FTR conference is specifically designed for OEMs, suppliers, and the teams that build and spec the equipment. You'll hear FTR's chief analysts alongside OEM leaders and carrier executives — the full demand chain in one room. This isn't a general freight conference with a breakout for suppliers. The first day is yours.

03

MONTHLY INTELLIGENCE THAT PROTECTS YOUR ANNUAL PLAN

A production plan built in Q4 can be wrong by Q2 if the market moves and your forecasts don't. The N.A. Trailer Analysis & Outlook updates every month — freight-driven demand models, cross-segment comparisons, inventory management insights, and a live analyst webinar — so your team isn't making multi-million-dollar commitments on stale assumptions.

Still need help? Contact Dan at the bottom of the page.

What days is the conference?

The Truck Track runs August 31 (Truck Equipment Day) and September 1 (Truck Freight Day) at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Union Station. Plan to arrive the evening of August 30 to make the most of the early morning sessions and networking events.

Why bundle instead of just attending the conference?

The conference gives you two days of forward-looking intelligence. The Trucking Update subscription extends that advantage across the full year — so you're not starting from scratch when rates shift in March or capacity tightens in Q4. The bundle price is designed to make both accessible together for less than buying them separately.

We already get production data from our OEM customers. What does FTR add?

OEM production data tells you what's scheduled — it doesn't tell you whether that schedule will hold or where demand is heading when the current order board clears. FTR's forecasts are built from freight demand fundamentals: how much freight is moving, what carriers need, and how those signals translate to trailer orders over the next 12–18 months. By the time a demand shift shows up in OEM announcements, the suppliers with FTR forecasts have already seen it coming and adjusted their inventory and input commitments accordingly.

What networking opportunities are included?

Registration includes FTR's signature Casino Night, organized morning runs, and open networking across both days alongside carrier executives, OEM representatives, brokers, and logistics leaders. The conference is intentionally kept at a size where meaningful one-on-one conversations actually happen.

Dan Moyer has spent his career at the intersection of freight economics and equipment demand — translating macro signals into the production forecasts that trailer manufacturers and suppliers rely on to make multi-million-dollar commitments.

Here's how he frames what this bundle is for:

"The suppliers who navigate demand cycles well aren't the ones with the best internal data — they're the ones who understand what's driving their customers' buying decisions before those decisions are made. That's what the Trailer Analysis & Outlook was built to do: connect freight fundamentals to production planning so your team is never the last to know when the market turns."
