Tips & Resources to Improve Your Fleet Management
When economic conditions tighten, transportation and logistics companies – especially small and midsize fleets – face intense pressure to control costs. Every mile driven and every gallon of fuel burned must justify its expense. Recent industry benchmarks show just how lean operations need to be: efficient U.S. service fleets average around $0.24 per mile and about $9,600 in total cost of ownership (TCO) per vehicle annually.
Fleet managers know that vehicle inspections are the cornerstone of safety, reliability, and compliance in any transportation operation. Regular inspections—whether daily driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIRs) or scheduled maintenance checks—help catch issues early and keep trucks running smoothly.
Small and midsize service fleet owners operate on razor-thin margins. New 2025 benchmark data offers a clear picture of what efficient fleet costs look like, with a Cost per Mile (CPM) of about $0.24 and an annual Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) around $9,584 per vehicle emerging as lean fleet benchmarks for service providers.
Fleet owners – from small delivery services to enterprise logistics companies – are under constant pressure to reduce fleet costs while maintaining efficiency.
