Roeth: Leverage all your data to improve freight efficiency (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I like the name of one of the American Transportation Research Institute’s (ATRI's) latest reports—From Data to Decisions: Trucking’s Use of Telematics Data to Improve Performance. What I like about it is the tying together of data and decision-making. Today, fleets have a wealth of data at their fingertips, but data alone is not the answer. Fleet managers should analyze the data based on their own goals and objectives and on the unique operating parameters of their operation. ATRI points out, a
Roeth: What does 'in production' really mean? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lately, a lot of people have asked me what it means when a manufacturer says their vehicle or component is in production. I suspect I am getting asked this question because we are seeing brand-new entrants into the medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturing space, and fleets are trying to determine when these trucks will actually be on the road. Back in 2020, Rick Mihelic, NACFE’s director of emerging technologies, was lead author on a thought leadership paper titled Defining Production. One thi
Roeth: Wrapping up and moving forward (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in the summer of 2024, NACFE decided to focus our next Run on Less on demonstrating all the evolving production Class 8 powertrain choices available to fleets in 2025. Thus was born Run on Less – Messy Middle. Now here we are in August of 2026, and we have just published our sixth and final report from the Run. Our first report, Bringing Clarity to the Messy Middle, was published in January of 2026, just a few months after the Run ended in September of 2025. The report provides a blueprint
Roeth: Regional haul trends continue spurred on by growth of private fleets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There has been a fair amount of evidence lately that private fleets are growing in number as more companies are taking control of their company’s transportation function. At the same time, we are seeing the truckload sector of the market suffer a little. To me, this means freight is becoming more organized, predictable, and regional. We’ve seen average length of haul decline in the past decade or so. For instance, according to the National Private Truck Council (NPTC), the average length of haul
Roeth: Factor emissions into your equipment buying decision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reducing vehicle emissions is something the trucking industry has been working on for decades—and we’ve made very good progress. For example, since the 1990s, the amount of NOx and soot released by a single truck has plummeted. Using advanced filters and chemical treatments in the exhaust, manufacturers have reduced these pollutants by more than 96%. Carbon has improved by around 20%. Historically, when we talked about vehicle emissions, we talked about what was coming out of the tailpipe. But a
