BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Freight Transportation Research (FTR) will host the 2026 Commercial Vehicle Symposium, a one-day, in-person event designed for executives and leaders responsible for transportation budgets, pricing capacity with precision and protecting margins in an increasingly complex market environment.

“These new small-group symposiums are built to deliver a focused blend of quantitative analysis, forward-looking forecasts, and candid discussion—paired with meaningful networking among senior industry decision-makers,” FTR said.

The symposium will take place on Tuesday, April 21 at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis – Airport. Registration is $495 per person. The agenda is designed to help attendees step back from short-term noise and focus on the economic, freight and commercial vehicle signals that matter most for planning and risk management.

Sessions will be led by FTR experts:

  • Jonathan Starks, CEO.
  • Eric Starks, chairman of the board.
  • Avery Vise, vice president of trucking.
  • Dan Moyer, commercial vehicle analyst.

“Together, the speakers will provide actionable insight into freight demand, equipment cycles and the implications for capacity, pricing and capital decisions,” FTR said.

Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve the interactive, small-group format and encourage open dialogue among peers facing similar strategic challenges.
