Vertically integrated pallet and packaging companies face unique operational challenges managing fleets across 40+ facilities. Discover how specialized fleet intelligence platforms help track reusable packaging assets, compare facility performance, ensure ISPM-15 compliance, and maintain job-site visibility. Learn how improved tracking can save millions - with studies showing that extending a pallet's active use by just 60 days can save approximately $30 per pallet annually, while preventing the loss of 100,000 pallets could save $5 million per year.
Fleet managers are often under pressure to cut costs wherever possible, and routine maintenance might seem like an easy target. However, the data tells a different story. Industry experts observe that unplanned maintenance can cost 3 to 9 times more than scheduled preventive maintenance, with each hour of downtime costing around $448 in lost revenue. Discover how modern digital maintenance tracking can reduce costs and prevent the operational nightmares of deferred maintenance.
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.
