Every year, the CNR conducts a survey on long-distance road freight transport (TRM) operated by French companies on behalf of third parties. The survey is conducted in the fourth quarter among a representative panel of 220 TRM companies.
The CNR presents the complete results of the 2011 survey here.
The main lesson learned is that, following the shock of 2008/2009, the long-distance road transport sector is still recovering. Although 2011 showed signs of recovery, road transport companies have not yet returned to their pre-crisis levels of activity.
