Fleet Performance Monitoring
You can't fix what you can't see. We track the operational numbers that tell you where the fleet is actually performing — and where it isn't — on a recurring schedule.
We track the numbers that actually tell you how the fleet is performing — utilization, deadhead percentage, on-time delivery, revenue per truck — and report them on a schedule instead of leaving you to reconstruct them at tax time.
You see where the fleet is making money and where it's leaking it, in time to actually do something about it.

The metrics that actually predict profitability
Utilization, deadhead/empty-mile percentage, and cost per mile are the core operating metrics ATRI tracks annually across the for-hire trucking industry in its Operational Costs of Trucking report — the same benchmarks that let a carrier see whether its own numbers (average all-in cost per mile was $2.260 industry-wide in 2024) are ahead of or behind the market it's competing in.
Why a recurring cadence beats a year-end look-back
A truck quietly running 15% more empty miles than the rest of the fleet is a fixable problem if it's caught in week three — and a much harder one to unwind if it's only noticed when the annual numbers come in. Reporting on a weekly or monthly cadence is what turns fleet data from a record into a management tool.
