The mission of this committee is to develop a truck transportation research agenda, drawing upon the combined resources of existing TRB committees, and to look for new ways for TRB to engage the trucking industry through an inclusive forum of the appropriate stakeholders.

Statement of Scope

The committee is concerned with a broad range of issues related to the trucking industry that require a multi-disciplinary approach to developing a research agenda. The committee will focus its efforts on cross-cutting industry issues, such as business economics, operations, logistics, shipper/carrier/consignee issues, and labor market and human resource issues. Through cooperative efforts with other relevant TRB committees and outreach and education efforts to the trucking industry and to public sector agency officials, the committee will develop a trucking research agenda.
