12.20.18 | FTR

Final trailer orders for November, as reported by FTR, came in at 45,000 units. November 2018 trailer orders were 17% below the impressive October activity, but with a 5% y/y increase, it was the fifth highest order month ever and the best November in history. Trailer orders for the past twelve months now total 427,000 units.
Trailer orders were elevated for the third month in a row as dry van fleets placed large requirements orders for the second half of 2019. Orders for other trailer segments retreated back to more normal totals, after being near record levels the previous two months.
