Starting with this week’s issue, the industry trade journal Transport Topics is shifting from a weekly to a semi-monthly magazine focused on long-form content and industry insights.

Founded in 1934, TT is widely considered among the trucking industry’s leading sources for news and information. The tabloid-style, glossy publication is often seen in stacks on the desks of business owners, fleet managers, and anyone interested in staying current on people, issues, and news that drive the industry.

According to Executive Editor Seth Clevenger, who has led the publication since 2017, the commitment to cover what matters to truckers isn’t going away. What is changing is how the publication delivers content.

“But rest assured, you’re not getting less; we will still deliver the same amount of feature content and industry insight — we’ll just do so in fewer issues.” – Seth Clevenger

“Beginning with this issue, the publication in your hands will feature expanded analysis and long-form content focused on what the latest industry news and trends mean to you,” he said. “This shift in strategy will ensure that our print edition is packed with the kind of insight and business intelligence that helps subscribers better run and manage their businesses. That includes all of our feature content, including TT’s award-winning annual Top 100 rankings, our quarterly iTECH and Calibrate supplements, our Deep Dive special sections and our informative weekly features.”

With the redesign, TT will shift to a twice-per-month, magazine-style format. “But rest assured, you’re not getting less; we will still deliver the same amount of feature content and industry insight — we’ll just do so in fewer issues,” he said. “For example, each issue will spotlight two feature topics, whereas the weekly format included just one.”

We’ll all look forward to more in-depth reporting from the trucking industry’s oldest and leading source for trucking information, but stay locked into ALTruckingNews.com for daily Alabama trucking specific content and news.
