FTR Is Bringing Strategy Back to the Forefront

Join Us in Indianapolis This April

If you’re responsible for transportation budgets, fleet planning, or capital allocation, you already know how noisy this market can feel.

Rates fluctuate. Orders shift. Headlines change.

The real challenge isn’t access to information — it’s identifying the signals that actually matter for planning and risk management.

That’s the purpose behind FTR’s 2026 Commercial Vehicle Symposium, taking place April 21 in Indianapolis .

A Different Kind of Industry Event — By Design

This isn’t a large conference with multiple tracks and crowded hallways.

The 2026 CV Symposium is a one-day, small-group strategy session built specifically for senior transportation decision-makers . Attendance is intentionally limited to preserve meaningful interaction and open dialogue .

The format allows for:

• Quantitative, forward-looking analysis
• Clear connections between macro trends and equipment cycles
• Direct discussion around capacity, pricing, and capital decisions
• Peer-level conversations without the noise

Hosted at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis – Airport. Registration is $495 per person .

The Team Leading the Discussion

Sessions will be led by:

• Jonathan Starks, CEO
• Eric Starks, Chairman
• Avery Vise, VP of Trucking
• Dan Moyer, Sr Analyst, Commercial Vehicles

Together, they’ll provide actionable insight into freight demand, equipment cycles, and the implications for capacity, pricing, and capital decisions.

For more than 30 years, FTR has connected macroeconomic drivers to freight flows and equipment demand . The CV Symposium brings that same analytical discipline into a focused, interactive setting.

If your role requires translating market signals into operational decisions, this is the room to be in.
