ATRI seeks motor carriers for annual ‘Operational Costs’ report
The American Transportation Research Institute is encouraging for-hire motor carriers to participate in its Operational Costs of Trucking report.
ATRI said the annual report is a key barometer of freight market conditions and a leading public benchmarking tool for motor carriers of all sectors, from owner-operators to the largest Class 8 fleets.
The report tracks cost metrics, including driver pay, equipment expenditures, and insurance premiums, as well as non-revenue mileage, driver utilization, and revenue per truck per week.
In 2026, customized reports for multi-year participants will include year-over-year comparisons to more directly evaluate trends. For-hire motor carriers are invited to participate by April 24. Data for 2025 can be submitted onlineor as a PDF.
Last week, ATRI released its annual report listing the top 100 truck bottlenecks in the United States. The interchange of Interstate 294 and Interstates 290/88 in Chicago is now considered the most congested bottleneck for trucks.
