“Not only are trucks continuing to move, but they are doing so at speeds well in excess of normal traffic patterns.” For example, according to ATRI’s data, at the intersection of I-85 and I-285 in Atlanta, known locally as Spaghetti Junction, afternoon rush hour truck speeds are typically less than 15 MPH due to congestion. American Transportation Research Institute 950 N. Glebe Road Arlington, VA 22203 Ph: (703) 838-1966 Fax: (770) 432-0638 Email: ATRI@trucking.org Last week, truck speeds averaged 53 MPH. ATRI says its use of truck GPS data can help target infrastructure funds to relieve freight congestion on U.S. highways. ATRI’s analysis used truck GPS data from more than a million heavy duty trucks and the locations examined included some of the nation’s top truck choke points. The effects of stay-at-home orders shutting down major segments of the economy were also analyzed, which resulted in an April decline in trucking operations.But there are signs that activity is starting to improve, with New York truck activity seeing an increase during the week of April 12.Serving Corporate, Executive, & Financial Managers Of Large Commercial FleetsServing Transit Bus, Private Motorcoach, & Passenger Rail ProfessionalsServing School & Pupil Transportation Fleet ProfessionalsServing Leaders In Fleet Mobility & Emerging TechnologyServing Medium & Heavy Duty Commercial Truck Professionals
The analysis looks at truck activity across six states between February 9 and April 18 with the use of real-time truck GPS data.“The GPS data we use is a valuable tool into what is going on in the economy and the trucking industry right now,” said ATRI President and COO Rebecca Brewster.

The American Transportation Research Institute is releasing new data showing that trucks are continuing to move – in many cases faster than usual – to respond to the demands placed on the industry by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to ATRI’s analysis, the results can be explained by several COVID-19 related factors: first is the dramatic reduction in commuter traffic, allowing trucks to operate at higher speeds, particularly during traditional rush hours.
