Total cost of ownership News Updates

Program Airs: November 12, 2 p.m. ET PrePass Intelligence brings your fleet’s bypass and toll activity together, turning what happens on the road into intelligence you can use across your operation. 

Waiting for a dashboard light can mean costly downtime, unexpected failures, and unnecessary replacements. Discover how leading fleets are shifting to proactive, data-driven DPF and DOC restoration to take control of maintenance, extend component life, and keep trucks on the road.

Rising replacement costs are forcing fleets to rethink long-held maintenance assumptions. This whitepaper reveals how operating conditions—not equipment type alone—shape aftertreatment performance, reliability, and total lifecycle cost.

The average cost to operate a truck in 2025 was $2.336 per mile — the highest since ATRI’s Analysis of the Operational Costs of Trucking was launched in 2016.

Aperia Technologies' chief commercial officer explains why proper tire management remains one of the most direct ways fleets can reduce operating costs, improve fuel economy and make technicians more effective. Download now for a free guide to improving your fleet's tire management program.

DPF issues in LTL fleets rarely stay isolated, driving downtime, fuel waste, and disruption. Many fleets still rely on standardized intervals instead of aligning with real duty cycles— a gap Ceramex solves through data-aligned strategies and validated restoration.

And How Top Fleets Are Fixing It: Aftertreatment doesn't have to be your biggest maintenance headache. Learn how proactive service intervals, restoration vs. replacement decisions, and smarter PM planning can reduce truck-down events and put you back in charge of your maintenance budget.

In Less-Than-Truckload Operations: Aftertreatment failures cost LTL fleets far more than parts and labor. This whitepaper outlines how emissions-related downtime impacts the P&L, explains why LTL duty cycles accelerate aftertreatment failures, and highlights how predictable, validated maintenance can restore operational stability and financial control.

Why “Clean” Filters Keep Failing — And How Restoration Delivers OEM-Level Performance With Veritex™ AI Validation. A New Standard for Fleets Seeking Predictable Uptime and Lower Total Cost of Ownership.

ATRI's latest Analysis of the Operational Costs of Trucking survey found that while the average cost of operating a truck dipped slightly last year, some marginal costs jumped.
