North American Class 8 truck orders fell year over year for an eighth consecutive month in August.

FTR Transportation Intelligence Senior Analyst Dan Moyer says weak freight demand, weak demand for commercial vehicles and excess inventory are keeping fleets from purchasing trucks.

North American Class 8 truck orders continued to trend below prior-year results by slipping nearly 2% in July, according to ACT Research.

North American Class 8 truck orders remained below the previous year’s results and also lost ground sequentially during June, according to ACT Research.

North American Class 8 truck orders continued to trend below the previous year but did see a surprise sequential improvement during May, according to ACT Research.

Preliminary data showed orders decreased 52.1% year over year to 7,600 units from 15,850. They also fell 53.9% sequentially when compared to the 16,500 units in March.

North American Class 8 truck orders in March continued to trend below year-ago levels as they faced additional pressures from tariffs and an uncertain economy, according to ACT Research.

North American Class 8 truck orders in February remained below year-ago comparisons for a second consecutive month after a short uptick in December, according to ACT Research.

The back half of last year mostly trended below prior-year comparisons but ended on a predictable uptick. That has since settled back to another year-over-year decline.

North American Class 8 truck orders jumped in December compared with the same month a year earlier, according to ACT Research, for the first such increase since May.
