The CNR presents here the complete results of its annual survey on long-distance road freight transport operations carried out in 2013 by French companies on behalf of third parties.

This reference document from the Committee provides an exhaustive analysis of all the operating conditions and costs for French 40-tonne heavy goods vehicles engaged in long-distance transport.

The results are presented by employee headcount category and vehicle mileage category. They are supplemented by numerous comments to provide a better understanding of the road haulage market.

The main lesson for 2013 is that, after a sharp decline in activity in 2012, road haulage companies still did not return to growth in 2013: the activity indicator for the 40-tonne long-distance fleet varied by only +0.2 %.
