The American Transportation Research Institute issued a call for motor carriers to participate in ATRI’s annual update to its Operational Costs of Trucking report.
Among the for-hire fleet metrics being requested by ATRI are driver pay, fuel costs, insurance premiums and lease or purchase payments. Carriers and owner-operators are asked to provide full-year 2019 cost per mile and/or cost per hour data using the easy-to-use online data entry form.
“We constantly strive to improve. In our quest for competitive excellence, one of our most valuable resources is ATRI’s annual report,” said Cari Baylor, Baylor Trucking president. “ATRI provides us with the detail to understand how our operations and costs compare to our industry peers.”
For-hire motor carriers are encouraged to provide operational cost data to ATRI by Friday, Aug. 21, 2020. ATRI’s data collection form, which protects all confidential information, is available for download. Participating motor carriers will receive an advance copy of the full report.
