An ATRI analysis showed that traffic conditions continue to worsen as more Americans return to work after the pandemic.

Consequently, bottlenecks in the supply chain have emerged across the country. Trucks averaged 36.3 mph during peak hours, down more than 6% from the previous year.

ATRI’s annual analysis is based on a database of GPS truck data, and uses several specialized software applications and terabytes of trucking data to rank the impact of congestion for each location.
