Why old data can lead to wrong assumptionsIn my defense, I believe that my head was filled with old data that didn't take into account market shifts that resulted in more trucks traveling shorter distances and returning to base nearly every day. But here’s the thing about the trucking industry: It's not static. Some of these technologies are new to the trucking industry, and others are seeing a resurgence of interest on the part of fleets. Instead, take the time to ferret out the latest data from reliable sources so that you are not making today’s decisions with yesterday’s data. Using outdated data to make decisions is fairly close to making decisions based on what your gut tells you.
