The American Transportation Research Institute launched a survey to update the 2012 Operational Costs of Trucking report.
The brief on-line survey seeks to capture basic cost information from for-hire carriers such as driver pay, fuel costs, insurance premiums and lease or purchase payments.
Carriers are asked to provide full year 2012 cost per mile and/or cost per hour data.
The results of this survey, combined with the previous Operational Costs of Trucking reports, will yield five full years (2008 – 2012) of trucking cost information derived directly from fleet operations.
This research provides carriers with an important high-level benchmarking tool and government agencies with real world data for future infrastructure improvement analyses.
The operational cost data that for-hire motor carriers provide will be kept strictly confidential. The survey is available online at www.atri-online.org and results will be available later this year.
