If you think you’re seeing more trucks on the road, it’s not your imagination. And more are coming, meaning that work needs to be done on highways and other infrastructure to keep up with the demand. A report by TRIP predicted that the value of freight moved by trucks in New Jersey will increase by 93% between 2016 to 2045, the 13th highest increase in the nation. Measured in weight of cargo moved, that would be a 54% increase for the same time period.
