Operational Costs of Trucking Data Collection - 2024 |
The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) is conducting its annual for-hire motor carrier data collection initiative to obtain truck-related operational costs for ATRI’s Operational Costs of Trucking report. ATRI is seeking cost data for 2023 associated with operating a truck. A final question asks for estimates on cost trends in the opening months of 2024. The final report will support studies related to industry productivity, driver issues, and fuel efficiency. Please note that the questions below are focused on TRACTOR-TRAILER combos only (not straight trucks).
All collected data will be kept completely confidential. Personal, organizational, and/or financial information will never be released for public use under any circumstance. The final published report will only be presented in an aggregated, non-identifying format. As needed, ATRI will sign a confidentiality agreement.
The data collection form can be completed online using the form below, OR by completing the hardcopy form linked here and returning it via email to aleslie@trucking.org or via fax to 770-432-0638. Carriers with multiple operating fleets may submit data separately for each fleet.
All participants submitting a completed, usable data collection form will receive an advance copy of the 2024 Operational Costs of Trucking report. Each participant will also receive a confidential, customized report directly comparing your operational costs to the operational cost trends of anonymized peer carriers of the same sector and size.
For any of your costs that were equal to zero in 2023, please explicitly enter “0” in the submission box. If you have any questions, please contact Alex Leslie at aleslie@trucking.org or 651-641-6162 ext. 2.
