ATRI Calls for Motor Carriers’ Data: Operational Costs of Trucking Report
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), a non-profit research organization in the trucking industry, is seeking data from motor carriers to update its annual Operational Costs of Trucking report. This report serves as a valuable resource for benchmarking costs and operations.
Why is the Operational Costs of Trucking Report Important?
The Operational Costs of Trucking report provides valuable insights into key industry trends. By collecting data from for-hire motor carriers, ATRI is able to analyze various aspects of the trucking industry and generate meaningful information.
What Data is ATRI Requesting?
ATRI is specifically requesting data on operational costs such as driver pay, insurance premiums, and equipment lease or purchase payments for the year 2023. Motor carriers can submit this information on a per-mile or per-hour basis. Additionally, ATRI is also interested in data on driver turnover, dwell time per stop, and the percentage of empty miles.
How Can Motor Carriers Participate?
Motor carriers and owner-operators can easily participate by submitting their responses online or by using an emailed PDF form. All information provided is treated as confidential and is only published in an anonymous, aggregated form.
What are the Benefits of Participating?
Motor carriers that actively participate will receive exclusive benefits. They will receive an advanced copy of the full Operational Costs of Trucking report and a customized report that compares the costs and operations of their fleet to other carriers in the same sector and of the same size.
